My brother is a die hard model builder. I have been for
years working in the electro-chemical plating industry.
He once talked me into taking some parts from one of his
aircraft models into the shop to bright nickel plate them
for him. With a little metal finishing work afterward we
achieved a very realistic looking model- in this case a
B-25 bomober. The only thing that really looked fake was
the plastic cockpits and pilot figures inside. Realism can
be had but it is expensive for them without access to the
right materials and difficult without the know how.
