Thanks for too kind comments. This was one of my simpliest builds (Hasegawa moulds - old, but true...)
Torch: Bardzo mi miło.

May I ask you wich Alclad do you use on it?

It's ALC-105 Polished Aluminium, painted on gloss black base (Gunze C).

In first post I had written: Nakajima industry. Should be rather: factory.
Regrets...

Stunning paint results! Can I ask what you use? Assuming an airbrush? And how many coats did you need? The finish looks amazing, factory fresh appearance! I have never used Alclad they are hard to source here.

Airbrush: Harder & Steenbeck "Infinity", first coat (base): black gloss Gunze C, finish: "ALC 105 Polished Aluminium" (applied once).
Alclad paints are easy to apply (by airbrush only!), ready to pour into airbrush tank straight from the bottle- no thinner needed, fast drying, durable.
If they are rare in U.S. (I am surprised!), try E-bay, I can fully recommend them.
