How do you make time for trains?

Aaahhh... I model airplanes as well..I have a few plastic kits sitting in the "to do" pile...One thing that's held me up is I don't know if there a paint that simulates the shiny metallic finish of fighter planes...Is there such a paint (In spray cans.).?? Sure would like to get a few done...

Actually YES.

Alclad II was originally meant for exactly this purpose. they sell metal paints that are directly airbrushed, that simulate almost every time of aircraft metal. Alclad Chrome looks good of Stainless Steel passenger cars, but airplanes done up with this paint look fantastic!

Some of the more reflective paints require a gloss black basecoat, but thats really only necessary for the Chrome and the prismatic colors. It can be somewhat irritating to apply because you need an absolutely clean, dust free surface (which is why I always hesitate to do an Alclad project if I can't get perfect conditions), but if it works, the results are worth it.
