Throughout history, many aircraft types have retained the natural metal finish of their construction, either partially or across their entire surface, while many others have been painted with a silver or other metallic finish. Among these are iconic planes like the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning, B-29, Ju 52, F-86 Sabre, F-104 Starfighter, BAC Lightning, and most Soviet post-war aircraft such as the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19, MiG-21, and the famous Soviet bombers Bear Tu-95 and Tu-142. These are just a few well-known examples, but the list of military and civilian aircraft that feature or have featured metallic finishes is endless.
With this Solution Book, you will be able to apply the base colours and weathering effects to any metal finished aircraft. Most of the techniques and effects described are optional, and it's up to you to decide whether to apply them or not. If you want to improve your technical skills, we recommend that you try to apply them all. To obtain different amounts of weathering, you simply need to adjust the intensity of each different effect to your liking. This Solution Book shows all the products required and most appropriate to create the effects described. If you maintain the order of application and drying times shown, you will be rewarded with great results. The aircraft used as an example in this book is Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-51D Mustang, but the same techniques and products work for any other aircraft with a metallic finish. Now choose your favorite model and let a master modeler guide you step by step!
