Nice work, chrome turned out really good! Awesome view from your balcony BTW😄

Great build Rodrigo! The Alclad chrome looks better than real chrome. And the view from your Balcony is indeed awesome! Where are you living?

Tim Heimer

Hi guys. thanks for the support. I see you like my balcony in Loures, Portugal 🙂 in fact I was trying the airbrush for the first time and it was night time and the compressor make lot of noise.. has you probably know. Already finish this build last year, only now I inserted these finish photos. the chrome does not have any varnish, I hear that the alclad Aquagloss is the best for this time of finish. What do you think? Im afraid it will ruin my decals and give it a too shine unrealistic look. Thanks

Holger Kranich
Hi! I would go with Tamiya F22 Clear coat. Works great for such purposes. I never used Alclad varnishes before. But i love the smell and the paints!🙂

Alexander Grivonev
I don't think that waterbased clearcotes like aquagloss would do any harm to your decals or the chrome finish. Apply several thin coats, so you can control the level of "shineness". With every coat it will become more shiny till you get the result you desire. Tamiya X22 (i am sure Holger was refering to this) would work, too.

X22 sure! Not F22...😎
