Tomcat Trebor Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I am in the process of completing my Modelsvit Su-7 in the natural metal scheme. My question is was the natural metal just overcoated with a clear lacquer or was the aircraft finished in a painted aluminium. Regards Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) my understanding of this is imperfect, but I have heard that the Soviets overheated the natural metal with a clear lacquer pigmented with some, but not so much to make it opaque, aluminum powder. That is why you can see panels yet the overall color appears to be uniform at the same time. Edited March 3, 2021 by aircal62 spelling error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
