The pamphlet in the foreground is an original publication from 1919 gathering impressions from his friends and comrades one year after his death.

Just how do you people achieve such excellent finishers on your models? That is truly outstanding and a marvellous tribute to a very brave man.

Great job, Antonio, she's a real beauty. What metallizer did you use for the cowling? Looks great.

Congrats.

Hallo everybody and thanks for the kind words...
@Ondra: for the fuselage I used  Tamiya TS-83 Metallic Silver spray in rattle cans.
But the forward part and the cowling were brush-painted with a common glossy black before.

See here a more clear picture of the difference:

The same spray colour made a different result on the wings, stains and different shaded areas... so in the end I rubbed the first coat of paint off the wings and used a different can: TS-17 Glossy Aluminum.

I hope this helps!

Ciao

Antonio,
    You've really achieved a genuinely realistic and worn aluminum dope finish here, the effect comes off beautifully. Nicely done, a very impressive model!
Cheers,
Lance

Wow, Antonio!  Sweet finish.  It's hard to make a "good" silver and you managed it in spades.  Excellent job.

Dan
