As promised..
As Nobi says; easy but beautifull, What I realy admire is his choise of rare and obscure aircraft, This plane is not everybodies cup of tea, but that's so cool about papermodeling, it doesn't need big investments to produce a model :D
So, thanks Nobi and all you guys, I have to go figure out what to do next

Billy,

I found some of the Canford silver paper, but not the frosted. Only difference appears to be the shade of silver. However, when I printed it on my inkjet, you could barely see the model parts. Did you use a laser printer? If not, what settings and paper type did you use? The paper looks promising, but still needs tweaked. Thanks so much!

Ray

Hello Ray,
I used 'Metallic Silver paper' made by Letraset, an English company, I bought it from my local art-surplies store, but I'm affraid it 's no longer in production, my store tried to order it for more than 6 months. but they still don't have it, I couldn't find it on the Letraset website.. I have the Red River paper, but that's very shiny, the Cranford paper Cecil is using looks much better.
I printed it with my HP-inkjet printer
Luckely I 've printed a lot of models when it was still available. But I'm still looking for a substitude..

Very nicely done Billy! Unfortunately the Canford paper does not take inkjet printing very well. We have a cheap B@W laser home printer so it works for me.
