Great work Fred.  She makes a very impressive model.   Nicely detailed, Nicely painted and weathered.

thanks mate , had no clogging issues or drying on the tip , dries quick on the model about 15 - 20mins touch dry depending on room temp it is lacquer , to be honest had no problems with it i would say its perfect its designed by modeler for modelers so its spot on and the finish is awsome mate cant reccomend them enough :)

Just a beautifully finished model, Fred, thanks so much for all of the detailed posts and photos.

Question, please. Compared to the other model paints, how do you rate this one for the tip dry/clogging issues? If this version is like the NMF composition, (lacquer,) then does it dry quickly once airbrushed on the model surface?

Again, very very nice model.

Great looking build, really nicely finished and well presented. I have been looking at those Alclad paints. Good to get a positive review of them.

Looking at your pics, am i right in thinking you applied the decals straight onto the paint without glossing.

That's awesome, great work!

And I had no idea Alclad made paint-paint. I was only aware of thier clear coats and metal colors. Oh goody, more stuff to shop for. Thanks a lot, Fred. Stick out tongue
