Riveter’ tool.
I was now ready t paint, and the irst job
was to add a coat of Ammo by MIG One Shot
Black Primer. Then I coated the entire aircraft
with Alclad Black Primer and Micro Filler. I then
sprayed the engines using numerous colours
including Alclad Steel, Magnesium, Pale Burnt
Metal, Burnt Iron and Jet Exhaust in a random
fashion. The access panels were then coated
in Steel and Pale Burnt Metal. After the initial
coat was dry, I sprayed on some Alclad Hot
Metal colours, mostly blue, but also some red
and Carbon and Burnt Carbon. The engines
were then masked-of and the rest of the plane
painted. This was a challenge, with so many

Airframe Aluminium, and a few other shades
of Alclad metallics were sprayed on to simulate
