TedTaylor Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The model lookd great, must do mine sometime soon. Regarding black undercoat what was wrong with what you did? I only use Humbrol gloss black under my silvers I think Alclad may affect Tamiya's acrylic black. Ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 IIRC, when Alclad first came out didn't they specifically recommend Tamiya's Gloss Black for the undercoat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 IIRC, when Alclad first came out didn't they specifically recommend Tamiya's Gloss Black for the undercoat? I believe their recommendations vary depending on the Alclad shade to be use; that's not the first complaint I've seen about their gloss black. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Irving Babbitt Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 IIRC, when Alclad first came out didn't they specifically recommend Tamiya's Gloss Black for the undercoat? Just checked Alclad's site and their application section still recomends TS-14 for polished aluminum and chrome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I would never use a Acrylic under a Laquer such as Alclad. Markii's F-100 cracked after about 6 months, as he used an acrylic white to paint his Thunderbird markings. Curt Edited November 30, 2008 by Netz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
