I have seen what you can do with an Airbrush. paint the markings. If an amateur like me can do it, I am sure that you can.
Go for it Roman.

Roman do you use Acrylics or Enamels because im struggling to decide wether to stick with Enamel or not :/ hmmm.... Enamel is nice, but a pain to clean up, what do you think?

Hey Scott,Originally posted by \
I have all from alclad enemals... never try acrylic from alclad. I'm waiting package from lucky models with alclad acrylic gloss and mad. Have heard they are all AB ready and they shine and looks like Future.
But from my oppinion and experiance = colors - acrylic (if dont have I'm using enemals), but those alu, silver, iron, etc...= ENEMAL...
I had Testors silver and alu acrylic color... throw them away
But I like alclad colors, maybe someone have expiriences with acrylic from them...

np scott, anytime I can helpOriginally posted by \Thanks Roman, I use humbrol enamels but I really like the look of alclad colors, very nice a wee bit pricey though
I'm also prefer acrylic colors... almost emidietly dry, easy to clean... but those alus... like I said
and I like acrylic gloss, because it's very easy after doing the wash with enemal mixtured in the oil thinner... and when you finish wash just with cotton moistured with oil thinner wipe away enemal and extended wash

I have played a little with various alu colors and with them shading panels...
and last what i have doned it's postshade with dark alu color... I think mybe on some panels must "kill" a bit post shade with ordinary alu color...
but syrian polanes I think and I know looks something like that

First that looks fantastic Roman. Any metallic finish seems to magnify any flaws or imperfection in the surface of a model. To get this model looking that good takes some doing!
I'm going to stick my neck out a bit and say that these Spitfires were not strictly speaking natural metal,they were actually painted silver. Someone may know better. Whatever it was Roman's looks good to me.
The Alclad metallic finishes are actually lacquer based. I know we are splitting hairs a bit but that isn't what we modellers normally call enamel. I think they give the best and most durable metallic finish available. I love them,they are easy to use and Roman has shown how good they can look.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.
Cheers

That looks Fantastic Roman. I to am a fan of Alclad and have "the full set" As Steve says they are a lacquer small point but if we don't correct people, we will never learn. lol.
Steve; You are quite correct. Silver Spitfires, in the RAF at least, where painted silver. Speed Silver which if I am not totally wrong was also a cellulose based lacquer. Regardless that Spitfire you have painted is gorgeous. I cant wait to see the next instalment.
