10000! thats a bit rough in it?
Buy the polishing set from Alclad. contains a small sponge rubber block and 5 small sheets of wet and dry. 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000.
When polishing keep it wet and only draw the 'paper' one way and not in circles. By varying the direction, you will get a varying effect in the finnished paint work.
If you have not used Alclad before there are a few things you need to be aware of first. Nothing shockingly hard, dont panic. It is watery thin and you will need to turn the air on the
airbrush right down. Spray on in short brush like strokes rather than the normal long airbrushing type stroke. Wear a mask the overspray goes every where!!! Remember to shake well EVERY Time befor you load the
airbrush.
And lastly go at it very lightly. The effect will come quite quickly. To much at once and you will risk runs and it will look to heavy.
Oh one last thing. Prime first with ordinary primer, otherwise you risk melting the kit with the laquer undercoat.
I was sitting the other day wondering what would be a great plane to do and I think you have found a good one. Hope it goes well and look forwards to seing the results.
