ALL CHANGE IN THE 'BLINDING' COLOUR DEPARTMENT!

HI Everyone

 

Well the Blinder is coming on and is changing colour from Black to Silver. I think I have sprayed 5 or 6 coats of Alclad over the model, most surfaces getting at least two coats.

 

But it has been a 'Blinder' to cover evenly........................!

 

If you look at the model from different angles, some areas seem more silver than others and then from another angle they don't, very strange? A trick of the light?

 

However I do think that whilst Gloss Black does give better reflectivity of the silver, on a large model as this, perhaps a Gloss Medium grey might give a better result.

 

Note to Kevin, on next big silver model!............Gloss Medium Grey

 

Now I need to select panels for differing shades of silver and then to paint up wheel wells, undercarriage components and finally the white heat resistant areas currently under Tamiya tape and paper.

 

Once assembly is done the Di-electric panels can be picked out, nose anti dazzle panel, nav lights etc. 

 

Hope you enjoy the pics
