Danstream Posted February 2 #31 Posted February 2 Lovely models perfectly finished. I have a soft spot for the Gulf one, but also the silver looks great. I thought that the Tamiya silver was not the best, but from pictures it looks fine.

I kind of wanted to use the alclad polished aluminum, but they recommend to not use decal solution on their "high shine" paints and I knew I would need decal solution on at least some of the many decals. And in my experience you need to be very careful about what clear coat you use over the alclad paints.

Dad4204 Posted August 22 #35 Posted August 22 What color did you use for the "Ivory" engine parts, they look realistic. Dave Old Collingwood, Egilman, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote

Sorry, but I did not document it and do not remember. I suspect it was a mixture of several Tamiya paints, maybe some XF-60 Dark Yellow with some X-8 Lemon Yellow and possible white or XF-55 Deck Tan to lighten it up a bit.
