Bandai Razor Crest

Thanks, and yes, the stickers would have brought the whole build down.

Three days ago, I sprayed the Razor Crest with black enamel (Revell). It should be sufficiently cured by now for the Alclad II finish. I still had to mask the windows, but using the stickers as a template made that job easy.
The Alclad Duraluminum sprayed on nicely. The metallic effect is good, though not quite as "mind-blowing" as I’d expected based on some of the reviews I’ve seen. Now I need to apply a coat of Future, otherwise the Alclad will be damaged by the wash.

That looks great, Remco! I have to add that my favorite silvers are Mr. Color's versions—shine shiver and what I think is an aircraft color but brighter than Tamiya's version. I use shine silver a lot when building spacecraft, but I did use it here as a base coat:

That is looking spectacular!

I have used mr Color super metallics on my Megatron build and like this very much.

Now that the paint is dry and the masks removed I am more impressed by Alclad 2. It really catches the light like metal. I made some different pictures of the same parts to show this.

I’ve been waiting for Mr. Color Super Metallics to restock in the states. Nobody has them anywhere.

No one has any Mr Color products. I mean everything. I'm starting to get worried as I'm going to need Mr Surfacer and GX100 Super Gloss before too long.

New import Tariffs?

I have no idea. We're still getting Tamiya, Academy and others so I don't think that's it.
