1/48 Monogram F-80

An oldie. Finished it as a Korean warbird in natural metal finish. Still not a bad kit.

Very nice work. Was there a lot of rescribing on this kit as it is monogram?

That's a lovely NMF. What did you use?

Thanks for the comments. Actually this would be a good kit to practice scribing as there are not that many panel lines and they tend to be straight lines. There are few small access panels or radii which makes it easier. I'm currently working on a Monogram F-102 and its challenging to say the least!
I used Allclad paints. I was actually following a method by Bera Karoly for texturized metal finish that uses salt masking and various layers of Alclad. I also rubbed in some Ushi aluminum powder on some panels. I think it came out ok but It became a bit "dirtier" than I was trying for.
I think that's the fun of NMF because you can be surprised by the effects sometimes.

I like Cold War aircraft, I love how heavy weathering looks on natural metal finishes.
