Plasto Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi, Here is my 1/48 Sea Fury in Egyptian Markings. I believe this aircraft flown by Neville Duke Held the London to Cairo speed record obtained on its delivery flight.. OOB Airfix with Ventura Decals.. Painted in Tamiya Lacquer Silver. Thanks for looking... 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice, mate. Is that AS-12 silver? Decanted or straight from the can? Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenoz Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) beautiful work, nice dull appearance... always refrained from tamiya metal paints.. found the flakes enormous and giving it a very weird result somehow, maybe I'll give this a try..

RidgeRunner Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ah ha! So, Laquer = enamel? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That's really lovely Plasto. The subtle weathering is just enough to bring out all the realism. Top Job. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses a cellulose based solvent AFAIK to carry the pigment. Think Gunze Mr Colour or Alclad... what uou you get is a nice fine grain silver that can give you many different silver finishes depending on surface prep, primer colour and clear coat used...

RidgeRunner Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Does that combine with the use of enamels? I am generally a enamel user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I've used a few of these and it's a rebrand of Mr Colour. They give an excellent finish and can be mixed with other Mr Colour lacquers. They will not mix with or paint over enamel or acrylics. Great Sea Fury Mr Plasto Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That's how I like to see a Sea Fury – nice, smooth finish, just enough hints of weathering to give a sense of 'non-model' and with the wings unfolded, to emphasize the beautiful, purposeful lines of this superb flying machine! Great work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteo44 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Great work! This new colour by Tamiya is very interesting... it looks like an Alclad Edited March 14, 2019 by matteo44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperback writer Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I understand that the new Tamiya Lacquer paint range is the same stuff that we have buying in the spray cans but now in a handy bottle - hurrah!!. I asked one trader if he would be stocking these colours but the thought of having to cart yet another rack of paints to shows was not high on his list of things to do this year. Hopefully these will become widely available unlike the Tamiya enamels. Tamiya's web site lists the colours available. Let us hope this catches on, the paint that comes out of the cans is excellent but awkward to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
