Thank you Bish. I’ve never seen it before either. I purchased the paint at Hobby Town USA. About a 45 minute drive from my house. I just bought it on a whim. It cost $10.00 USD. Kind of pricey for a small bottle of paint but you don’t need that much for coverage. And I did it in one coat. Thank you for always following my builds.

Thank you roger_wilco. I do like these Academy kits. They’re well detailed and have good fit and finish. The only 1/144 I’ve built was a Minicraft B-17G. Thank you for your support.

I wanted to add that the next color that is close to the Vallejo Acrylic is Model Master Enamel Chrome. It’s almost identical. The draw back of which everyone knows is the the MM enamel takes a while to cure. The Egyptians built pyramids faster than it does for chrome enamel to cure! LOL! And of course bieng an enamel there’s the smell issue. But once cured, it’s as hard as a rock.
The Vallejo Acrylic dried and cured overnight. It really became a hard solid surface 24 hours later. Although there are no smelly issues, the Vallejo has to be shot at a low psi. It’s a medium that’s not for the first time user. It took me a couple of sample shots to understand how to react with it. And as I reiterated before, it is an extremely sensitive paint.
I can definately recommend both enamel and acrylic chrome. Each has it’s drawbacks and each has it’s strengths. It’s purely as always up to the modeler which medium you would prefer.
