Aaaaa- Norway early pattern

[modellius]

Yes, I found it very attractive, I hope I will be able to manage it well...

The front and rear clear parts installed, thru the front part the details I made around the HUD and in the inside are visible so it was worth the extra work ( canvas, cables, switches..... )

Now there are two of us 

Some progress, made some test painting, first time ever I use Alclad paints, they are good but need a lot of attention while working with them

[No.1]

I know about those paints, how you solve sensitivity problem?

[modellius]

Needs a very good prepeare, Gunze Surfacer first, then sanding after that matirung mesh ( I don't know the exact name, can be found in any paint shop ) and as a last layer before Alclad is semi gloss black..... And Alclad cote after, the cote is superb, doesn't kill the metal look

Good, same as I did. I did not work with for few years, what do you use for cleaning airbrush? Enamel thinner?

ALC-307-60 Airbrush cleaner
ALC-310-60 Klear Kote Gloss

[modellius]

 Bit of progress. Metal painted and decals installed. Have to say Alclad is very good metal paint but needs a lot of practice, hard to work with...... The next NMF will be better.....

[No.1]

It will have worn out metal look?

[modellius]

Yes, that was the effect I tried to represent
