This time, we did the naked metal coating, because this time, the focus is to test the bump skin texture, so that the general camouflage does not show any effect.

Some scratch built here and there, including the whole cockpit interior, antenna, landing lamp, fuselage windows, dive brake, etc., as the kit has minimal detail. Some other details are also not very accurate. Meanwhile The shape and fit is fairly well.

I chose a what-if fictional bare metal scheme as l hope it shows better the result of my experiment on stressed skin impression. I enjoy quite a lot the product though the process was kinda boring.
