I got the feeling that metal over red may give a strange tint, but curious about what you get

Thanks Robert. You made me look for some reference photos. You're right that most MiG-15 aren't shiny. Some of them seem to be, but even those are nowhere near mirror shinny (like American Sabres). Still - the instruction says the original plane was part of a display team and painted "specifically for the event". I'm assuming they kept it clean and looking good. So I'm aiming at natural metal finish, but as to your comment, I will try not to overdo it. I probably wouldn't be able even if I wanted to.

Thanks Spanjaard. Good point about strange tint. While I won't be to sad about not achieving NMF, it would be tragic if it would end up being pink. Will run some tests.
