As soon as I finish my current MRAP project, I plan to start this massive 1:72 scale German 80cm Railway Gun "Dora".
The finished model will measure in at a mere 44 inches in length. This thing would be a monster in 1:35 scale!

CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" by Egilman - Minicraft/Hasegawa - 1/32nd Scale - PLASTIC
Applying the RnB over a flat base paint makes sense. You'll still want to experiment on scrap, first. Maybe buff the flat base paint first as Tamiya flat black can be rather chalky.
I'm thinking the 24 hour drying time after application and before buffing is critical, too. Don't know how you'll get around the fingerprint issue, as guys complained that even with gloves, they still got smears. Maybe they didn't give it enough drying time?

Saw this bad boy at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and the shell at the museum at Picatinny Arsenal when I was stationed there in the late 60s. Little David mortar. I don't think it ever saw service.

This modeler says he used RnB thinned with enamel thinner, then sprayed through an airbrush. The results on his model look pretty good, but unlike the F-104 finish the other modeler got.

See this thread: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/general_discussion/f/9/p/162653/1779851.aspx
Just wondering if you ran across this thread while you searched for the application of RnB as a NMF?
None of these fellows offered any hopes for success as a practical matter. It would be very enlightening to learn exactly how the modeler you cited used the product on his Zipper. Being a wax, I am very skeptical it can offer a durable, NMF finish on an entire aircraft model. Small bits and pieces, maybe, but an entire model, no.

If you read through the Wikipedia article, it says the Germans had plans to extend the gun's range to 100 km with a barrel extension. 😲

CDW got a reaction from hof00 in MRAP ATV by CDW - FINISHED - Rye Field - 1:35 Scale
Adding pieces to finish out the cabin interior floor.
I ordered a set of resin radio components that fit in the center racks (between the seats) from a vendor in Taiwan over a month ago. Unfortunately, they have not arrived and may be lost in the mail. I shall continue with construction regardless, but wish the pieces had arrived to further enhance the cockpit.

Where can one display this monster. It’s over a meter long! That will be one impressive model.
