Beautiful and shiny!

Any fit problem to bear in mind?

Jon Bryon
Thanks! Yes...every piece has a fit problem!

Clifford Keesler
Beautiful F-80.

Treehugger
Lovely. When putting on foil, how does one best deal with the grooves for the panel lines? Can pieces of foil be overlapping anywhere, maybe in the grooves only, or maybe not at all?

Jon Bryon
Best to do it in the panel lines. The join is quite visible if not.

Temple Dragon
So, you apply foil per panels?

Jon Bryon
If I've understood you correctly, yes.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Excelent work, a Silver beauti!

Michael Kohl
Your build demonstrates that even with the "new" metal paints the foil technique still has its place and you can achieve very nice results with it. Well done.

Jon Bryon
Thanks guys 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Absolutely fantastic work! I am simply speechless... Chapeau bas, Jon!
