I abandoned IG and FB already a while ago … 😉🙋🏼♂️
Based on your photos here, I get the idea.
Thanks again.

@guido ah ok, so I'll explain it to your here, no problem. You need to thin the paint heavily, my best result was a mixture of approx. 1:10 paint:thinner ratio and applying it in several light coats with low pressure on the airbrush. I recommend to make tests on a test piece to set up the conditions you prefer not to ruin your worthy build. I hope this helps 😊👍🏻

Thanks.
Many years ago, i did smaller parts with Alclad chrome, but discovered a few weeks ago that bottle had turned bad. But it was the same approach. Perfect base coat and then very thin layers with low pressure. 😉
I'm still looking as the SM range is not so easily available. But no rush, next few projects don't require it. 😆

Thank you, my friends, I am thankful for each of your comments on my recently finished Enola Gay build, you're great. It's nice to know that there are so many model building friends and people interested in that hobby around. I'll do my best to show you more of my scale modeling passion in the future.
@Transall NG so glad to read your comment, as it was my initial aim to represent a somewhat museum looking version of this big historical bird 👍🏻

Album info
I'll use a 3.5V coin cell to light up flight deck and bomb bay.
