Thanks for your message and the photo Michael. To answer your question, the wingtip tanks were painted. As you say, using foil would have been a nightmare, plus they were a dull aluminium on the real thing, compared to its polished airframe. Cheers Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Airframer Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just a tip... check and see if the kitchen foil you're using has a bright, shiny side. I had been using a foil that was dull on both sides. With the new foil's shiny side against the adhesive, it sticks like, well, glue. Best of Luck Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny_K Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 jonbyron, I think that your model looks great. I have been using Bare Metal Foil for 5 years. So far I have foiled 8 aircraft. I am currently working in a 1/48 Mig 15 and a 1/48 B-58. AT times, foiling can be a challenge. If you want to increase the realism of your foiled aircraft, try adding rivets. I use a rivet tool from RB Productions. Following is an example of wing from a B-24 that I recently finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
