Hey guys. Here's my finally completed Mustang. I'm really pleased with how it came out with the Alclad. I ended up putting a light coat of Testor's dullcote on it take away the shine and make it not look factory fresh. I used Alclad Highly Polished Aluminum for the metal, and Tamiya Red and Olive Drab for the color.
In getting ready for the Alclad, i put down a coat of Tamiya black acrylic followed by a couple layers of future klear. then the alclad. i put maybe 2 layers of future on the alclad as well in preparation for the decals. I did my normal micro-sol/set process for the decals (which went down great i should say, love those Tamiya kits), followed by another coat or 2 of klear to seal in the decals. Once that dried i did a chalk pastel wash for the panel lines. The streaking and grime marks are ground chalk pastels applied with a brush.
The reviewer of the model in the magazine FineScale Modeler said when he was done he just stared at it for 30 minutes. I didn't stare for quite that long, but I must admit maybe 10 minutes or so looking at all the detail of the engine and the quality of the kit engineering.
This might be my favorite model to date next to my Slave I. It's going to be tough going back to 1/48 after this gem in 1/32. I recommend this kit to anyone with some experience and who isn't afraid of Alclad (it's really not as bad to work with as it's made out).
Hope you like...
