Hi,
My next model will be a Mustang 1/32 from Tamiya: "North American F-51D Korean war" and I do have doubts on the metallic paint to use: I know that there are plenty options but what would you recommend for an amateur using airbrush? Xtreme metal, Alclad???
Also, after metallic paint, any particular caution to do weathering with enamel wash and oil paints?
All tips are welcome if anyone has built this or similar model.
Cheers
 
Do you need to use a special primer before applying metal color (Alclad) or Mr Surfacer 1500 is ok?
 
I used 3D decals for the cockpit and even if green colors do not match, I find results quite good Cockpit disassembled.jpg
