REVELL P-47M IN 1/72

Actually no, you don't have to seal it. If it was coming off I think you may have been too far away when spraying it and it actually dried on contact. Some of it you do have to polish but not seal.

Looks good. :popcorn
 
Alclad can rub off if you handle it too much, but I usually plan around that. Sealing it will usually dull the shine, although I haven't tried their Aquagloss Clear. Looks like you can show this one who's boss. :pilot

When I took it back to da' house and masked it with Tamiya tape...it came off with the tape! I re-sprayed the areas taped, but the gorgeous base was ruined. Also, when I sprayed the model with Alclad dullcoate thinking hat would seal it, and then sprayed the two colors of camo with masking between, as this was over the alclad, about 5-10% of it came up as well, also sticking to the tape. Next time I do BMF, I am going to use a gloss black base (remember, my base was Tamiya flat white primer), then Alclad, THEN Tamiya Clear (that stuff is like spraying plastic, though it takes a long time to dry).

Also i think my pressure here was too high, I may dial it down for better spraying, but it is a learning process!
 
COMPLETE!!!!! Here we have one dirty P-47M, ready to hit Hitler with everything "The Jug" could throw at them!

Thanks! That blue camo was FUN! I sued the little $1.80 bottles of Testors enamel for it!
