RICHW Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Been going to do an Amercan Airlines Jet for quite a while i have had the 'ONE WORLD' decals for the Boeing 777 for a bit and since seeing the finish that Alcad 2 gives i decided to start bulding this model , i was really amazed how shiney the ALCAD comes up , i will never use Humbrols polished aluminium again theres no comparison as my Black undercoat i used HUMBROL black gloss which the Alcad 2 sprayed fine on top of i painted the light Grey areas first so i wasn't masking ontop of the Alcad Just added the left hand side titles and windows tonight will get a better picture in the Daylight Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've not been totally convinced about alclad but this one looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHW Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've not been totally convinced about alclad but this one looks good its certainly a lot more real looking that Humbrols metalcote polished Aluminium i will take a picture of the 737-800 i have done using that next to the 777 so you can see the difference when i get chance Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Alclad is the best. You just need such a perfect base for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 so far I've used bare metal foil, from the bare metal foil company, USA which is brilliant stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 interesting build.... I'm still not convinced about alclad though Guess I'll stay with foil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madaboutmodels Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Brilliant model. The bare metal livery really does suit the 777, anyone willing to build a -300ER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
