I appreciate that they look pretty in controlled lighting situations. Could you take some pictures of that wing in various conditions outside like bright sun and cloudy. I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,

I have used Alclad paints in the past and agree they're smelly. I understand that these are easier to use but it would interesting to know your view on the colours. The dark aluminium and pale burnt metal just don't look right. cheers Michael

Hi,
The pics in the review were taken with only my desktop lamp on, so it wasn't a full lighting setup.
Here is a pic of the wing in natural light on a cloudy day.

Hi,
The dark aluminium looks pretty good to me, but the pale burnt metal is a little too pale compared to the Alclad offering, but it does have a slight orange/yellow tint to it.
The Alclad is a more full burnt metal though.
Used together should produce a nice and varied effect.
Hope this all helps.
