Academy B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay

Academy B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay...
Tricky kit for fit and my first attempt at a natural metal finish - used AK Xtreme Metallics for the 'silverplate' finish. LED internal lighting also installed.
Be warned AK metallics had a long drying time - further masking tended to leave residue. Tried AK velvet tape but residue problem remained. Eventually settled on using de-tacked Scotch DIY tape which left minimal residue under test and removed asap after spraying. Used AK Intermediate Gauzy Gloss clear before weathering and for the final coat.
Presented as Enola Gay dropping Little Boy over Hiroshima 09.15 on 6 August 1945.
Won EMC Battlefield Trophy for '1945' themed Sept competition.
