FUTURE on top of metalizer/Alclad ???

Dang, didn't see it on a site, saw it at a show. I had my Nate there, and he his, so we naturally compared notes. I meant to ask the fella a few more questions than I did. Oh well, I'm sure I'll bump into him again!

Hey Blackwolf, nope can't say that was me. What website did you see the Nate on?

General Lee,

Just curious, are you the same Jamie from Canada that built a 48th Hasegagme Nate in green (I think) and brown camo?

I agree with eagle334. Alclad II is very tough and will easily take the Future over it, but it will probably "disrupt" the natural metal appearance, especially with the polished aluminum. I would leave well enough alone. Good luck!

Future itself won't hurt the metalizer but it does hurt the apperance of it. It ends up looking like a silver painted aircraft, not natural metal. The best reference I can give of this is restored warbirds painted silver that should be natural metal. Alclad is very tough, not like the model master metalizer. I have used it on a couple of kits and it holds up well to handelling and masking. Hope this helps.

I have not actually tried it, but Alclad is a Lacqure, and Future is an acrylic... and I have painted acrylics over Alcad with great success... so it should work.
