Javlin1 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) I started this kit wanted something shiny to do it fit the bill.The kit is great like your typical Tamyia kit.The build will be OOB all the way I want easy/fast the decals/stencils will be the slow part.I had issues with my SH Tempest Mk VI with the finish the Alclad base after over a week was just ever so tacky let's say allowing the silver layer to smudge if handled to much.I am using this go round Tamyia X-18 dries fast/hard.This what you see is about 4/5 hours of effort while I was working the P-47 through her final stages.

Javlin1 Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 (edited) I have been working this while things settle on the George.I had all the panels on the front left side masked and painted and sprayed the wrong color their goes 45/60 minuted of masking .... Unlike Sasha's beautiful F-86 him doing panels on this one I am going after hatches and anything with screws on the perimeter should be different we will see.

Thanks it's holding up well to handling though I do clean my hands with 90% alcohol I hate gloves.The AlClad 101 was laid over Tamyia Semi-Gloss Black Acrylic paint it gets very hard and smooth thinned with MrColor leveling thinner.
