How to Paint a Natural Metal Finish | P-51D Mustang 1/72 Tutorial

In this tutorial, I show my approach to painting a natural metal finish on the legendary P-51D Mustang in 1/72 scale. For painting, I used the Gaahleri Mobius airbrush with a 0.2 mm nozzle.

I’ll guide you through the complete painting process—from primer and surface preparation, to masking individual panels and applying different metallic shades using Mr. Hobby paints. In the video you’ll see: Surface preparation for metallic paints Priming and base coats Masking techniques for NMF finishes Panel variation and tonal differences Using Mr. Hobby Super Metallic paints Painting invasion stripes and markings Final results before decals Let me know in the comments what you think about this approach to natural metal finishes—and whether you prefer the P-51D in NMF or the camouflaged P-51B from the other build.
