Thanks again for the comments !

Paint overall is Testors Aluminum buffing metalizer from the spray can w/o buffing, and coated with Testors semi gloss laquer before and after decals. I haven't tried any shading or highlights yet - Have thought about just lightly buffing the wing ribs or using graphite powder between the ribs - maybe on the next one.  The blue cowl and wheels are Tamiya TS44 Brilliant Blue also just from the spray can. All markings are the kit decals and the one problem was with the rudder edges as no solvent would soften them up to fold over. I mixed shades of ed and blue to match the decals for touching up the edge. Nice to just spray bomb something once in a while and the metalizer has such a fine mettalic grain it gives a nice uniform look.

Very nice. Silver and blue add to the flavour.
