Joe.....I used Tamiya Titanium ......thanks.

John... that color looks great. I thought it was the Pale Metal from Alclad. Looks like I am going to have to add some Tamiya titanium to my collection.

Hello.....thank you all so much for the kind comments.......I did the rivets on the body and airbrushed in the black on the front of the shark mouth...... got the door panels,door latches and window braces on......thanks for looking.

The rivets look great. Did you airbrush a black circle with a stencil and put a speck of white on top? I've seen some 1:1 rivets painted that way.

Simply gorgeous, John. How did you get the simulated bolt heads to line up so well in a straight line? Do you use Future to glue them?
