Thank you Frank and I'm wondering too.
Treehugger, I don't know yet because I am not at that stage.

Thank you Łukasz. This is my first time with the metalizers. I hope I will not mess it up at the end.

I am wondering, how long is this model in 1:72 scale? I usually wonder about such things, when trying to figure out if I can place kit models inside any of my glass cabinets.

Thank you both.
Erik, unfortunately they are steady. Beside my efforts I can't manage to set up flicking leds. I am not good at electronics.

You can find flickering leds on eBay or inside so called safe tea candle lights, they have something built inside the led that makes it flicker.

Why do you want them to flicker? It will make the engines look like they are flaming out.

I was just interested to know what kind of leds Yavuz used, as I have used flickering leds for the V1 in my project Eugène Seghers
Project Eugène Seghers | Album by opadesmet (1:72) and for my Starfighter egg planes
Starfighter Egg Plane | Album by opadesmet (1:Egg) .
Whatever Yavuz used , it is Ok for me.

So I think it depends on what effect we wanted to create. This case I was lucky that unintentionally I used steady leds.
I appreciate all of you that you gave me different aspects of view which was really helpful for my future projects. Thank you guys.

I think working with metallics is time and masking tape consuming effort.

If I compare to painting a camouflage scheme I spent so many time and masking tape beyond my expectation.

That's why I stick with this crazy hobby Yavus. As we can go nuts and every one supports you. hahahahahaha 🙂 👍
Just ask Choppa Nutta. !
He set the standard for us all when it comes to 'unusual'. 😉 😉 😉

nice work on the lighting of the engine. Looking good in metal, but no titanium colors?

Thank you for your comments Bart. For the time being I only use Vallejo 77.702 Duraluminium on vertical fin and some aft panels. May be I can add some titanium after black sections completion.

@Treehugger finally decals are set. In my opinion they look fine on metal look scheme.

Tamiya panel line accent Color black was used for some panels. Oil paints were used for weathering.
Next will be stand and it will be released in separate album as well as final result.

It remains as it is mate. Metallic paints seem like with out sealer. This was my first time working with Model Master Sealer and surprisingly it worked well with XF-85 as well. It also protects the paint against masking tape very well. I am fully satisfied and happy with this sealer.
