My first attempt brushing the wings with Alclad and Molotow failed, because I missed the typical polished aluminium shine. So I covered them with Hasegawa mirror finish. Not an easy job! But the result seems better than the airbrush technic.
Completed wings just missing the Gurney flaps and endplates.

Great work. But in my book this is much too shiny. I am right now building the same project (but MFH) and I prefer to make it less shiny. One easy solution is to spray with a semi-clear Gunze coat.

I'm glad, having finished this kit. Too much pain. If MFH released their 312 B3 6 weeks earlier, this MG kit was never build.
Thanks for all the nice and encouraging comments. See us in the next WIP.

Beautiful finish!
Is the Hasegawa Mirror Finish a water decal or like Bare Metal Foil with self-adhesive back?

It's a self adhesive foil, not easy to handle. Subject must be very clean, the smallest dust is visible. But the result is much better than Bare metal foil, really mirror like.
