A cross over between a camel and a mustang.. nice!! Once you've seen that you can't unsee it! Curse of the injection moulded blown canopy!

Been playing with the Ammo Metal acrylic Matt Aluminium and found a way to get a result I'm happy with. Mixed 10% acrylic retarder with the Lifecolor thinner I had. Used this 60/40 paint thinner and set the compressor at 1 Bar. Thin coats and I'm here.. The best bit is clean up was just one squirt of my homemade AB cleaning fluid then a second under the tap !

Looking great, Steve! And thanks for the info. Always glad to get tips about aluminum finishes with different types of paint.

Had a bit of a setback with the decals. The kit decals are very thick and glossy, added quite a bit of softener using MicroSol but for some reason that I don't understand the decals lifted off and to the paint with it Had to repaint the wing and one side of the fuselage so I'm here again
