Has anyone got good tips for weathering an Alclad finish? I'm doing a 1/24 P-47 Thunderbolt which I'll be doing in natural metal finish. Do you pre-shade? Post-shade? Panel wash? Any help welcome!
Yes,I should clarify that I tested aluminium,duraluminium and dark aluminium with Klear, NOT any of the highly polished finishes. With the ones I tested the difference before and after was very slight.\ said:I sprayed a test piece and varnished half, the reflectivity just dissapeared.
Bingo! I do feel that the Alclad II finishes need de-mystifying! I've always treated them the same as any other paint. I'm a mister anyway,I like to build my paint up gradually,so I even spray the stuff exactly like anything else.\ said:As far as washes go, I could imagine that once the surface has been sealed it would be bussiness as usuall.
Allyne,I've seen your models so I know that you can use an airbrush. I promise you you have nothing to fear from Alclad,you don't even have to worry about thinning. As for a 1/32 NMF B-17...that would be something.\ said:I'd love to have the confidence to use alclad but as of yet i haven't lol. If i did i would love to build a B-17G in NMF.... especially the new 1/32 one lol
