Tamiya aluminum acrylic.

Yes it is flat in finish. I like it for airbrushing on. I works well in that manner, and is quite durable for handling or masking, like all other Tamiya paints. Not the best for a bare metal finish, but very good for use on subjects that are Aluminum lacquer or dope that many aircraft are. 

Thanks, Stik.

I'm guessing it would work well with a little semi gloss top coat, to replicate auminum aircraft parts, like landing gear legs, etc.

Will try and then post results, seems like Alclad is a bit too polished in appearance for many forged/cast components.

Pat ...I like to decant tamiya bare metal silver  (As-12) it airbrushes on with out thinning. .it gives a fine Finnish ..better then tamiya xf16 or x11 both too gletery .as-12 gives that forged look that you want ...ei. landing gear ..just remember to let it sit in a paint jar. .led losely on so the propellant can boil off ..cheers. .peter

Thanks for the input, Peter, I'll give'r a go if I can locate that AS12.
