Mooneyzs Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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.

pharr7226 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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.
