Frank's Scale Model Aircraft Art!
The F-100 A-F Study! A semi theme look at the great and very beautiful F-100 series!! A major object in this study is to compare two possible NMFs, Alclad Polished Aluminum, and Airframe Aluminum! The winner of this comparison will be used on a 1/144 Fujimi B-29. Looking to find the closest match to that shown on the real planes in pics #5 & #7 below. I'm beginning to lean toward the Airframe Aluminum. Your thoughts??
