| Star Wars Naboo Starfighter This model was built during the 12 hour build event during the Christmas 2012 holiday break. I was not sure if I could get Alclad chrome to work in 12 hours. Normally, this chrome lacquer should be airbrushed over super smooth, fully cured enamel gloss black enamel. On this model, it was airbrushed over acrylic gloss black that had dried for 2 hours and had quite a bit of orange peel. It turned out more like a steel colour, rather than chrome. Ah well, lesson learned. I was never happy with the original paint, so when Revell released their "Chrom Spray" in late 2023, I thought I might try it. The model was partially disassembled and the metallic areas sanded and then polished smooth. They were then sprayed straight from the can and then the model reassembled. A much better result, but after a few days the paint started to fade is small spots.
