I thought that was odd, didn't look very shiny in the pics. Thats alkways been one thing thats put me switching paints is having to adda gloss coat.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

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.

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 :)

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