Now that my workbench is cleared, maybe........something BIG ? Em120
I'd sooner spend my own money helping new modellers than to spend at an undeserving shop.

The intake was built like this. Needs careful alignment, otherwise you'd get seams on several places. This design leaves a horrible gap in the inside-top of the intakes. I used thin pla-plate to rebuild the entire top surface.

Alclad Aluminium, which feels to me, not much different from Mr Metal Color.
But this is not supposed to be a shiny chromed finish. I mixed Red Brown to darken the exhaust cans. They look darker than the rings in front.

Final flat coat was Gunze Super Clear flat #182 from bottle, mixed with Gaia thinner and airbrushed. I attached the exhausts after flat coat.
Using airbrush, I was able to control exactly how matte the finish was. I wanted some satin sheen visible on the black areas.

Got slightly flattened tyres, no bulge.
