ALF18 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 As you know, I have had many trials and tribulations during this build, but I finally licked the Alclad monster. This one will never be a showpiece, but at least I learned a lot of lessons. I redid the Alclad by misting on some Aluminum over top of the sanded model, and managed to recover a bare metal finish that is not great, but free of huge defects. Decaling is pretty much done here. I just have to touch up the odd thing, like the wingtip nav lights. I'm calling this done. Not great, but from a foot away, it's OK. More shots in the finished builds thread. Thanks for helping with your constructive advice, especially about the Alclad. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Alf, it looks great! You did a great job after the first Alclad issues. I probably learnt more about proper Alclad use from this build than any other so far, because I would have made the same mistake to start with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
