Any impressions on the AK metal paints versus others? I'm looking to move away from Alclads because while they work well for me, the shelf life is quite short and since I only do the occasional NMF, I don't want to have to buy more bottles for every build.

Hello John. IRT impressions of the AK metal. I watched Phil Flory's B-17G video build and learned from it. I did not put a clear coat over the NMF. No problem with masking, decals, Flory Wash or the enamel wash over the OD parts. So... I found AK to be much more forgiving than Alclads. If I am looking for shine, I will stick to AK over LP-01. Next project I will see if how AK works over a gray base coat, hoping for a less fresh look for P-51D.
