My second plane in almost 40 years. I found out after the fact it's not a "well loved" kit, and Lindberg kits are not the best either. This where I also found out an amateur shouldn't attempt a complete paint job with metallic silver.
Anyway, kit's done.

Silver is not an easy color, even for a crusty old modeler like myself! Well done!

I don't see anything wrong with your silver finish. This is an impressive looking model, especially given that it is a Lindbergh kit. I've put together a few of those as well in my distant past.

Way to go and welcome to the Forums. Excellent "calling card" to introduce yourself.

I like to use those kits to practice scratch-building on.
