goldhammer I like the color variations you got with the undercoats you used, and the topcoat coverage. Hope they hold true through the buffing process

Thanks Goldhammer.
I think it still needs a bit more buffing in some areas to show the variation more. I'll see because maybe it doesn't need to be seen all around.

Thanks Gamera. We'll see how it turns out. :)
So far so good with these paints. This is my first time using them so I am no expert.
I haven't tried Alclad and similar stuff which many swear by so I can't compare.

Hi gents,
While the clear coat on my first NMF build (HB Easy Assembly P-51D) is left to dry for an infinite amount of time, I decided to try my second NMF build, this time using buffable Mr. Metal Color and I think that I have found a winner for now.
I primed it with black Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 (no buffing), marbled it with Tamiya Nato Black and coated it with Mr. Metal Color Aluminium. Doesn't need thinning, sprays kind of dusty but once polished with a cotton bud, paper tissue
or cloth it gives a really nice finish. It takes buffing very well since it was designed for it I guess. It dries in 10 min and it is ready for buffing.
Apparently I shouldn't even dream about masking it before protecting it first, so I will probably go with Tamiya X22 with levelling thinner. This needs more research.
Thanks for looking.
