Any guess as to why this Alclad Aluminum is looking grainy? I’ve used Alclad for years and never had this issue. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Hsg2VCnJ/IMG-5721.png)

I had this happen with their chrome when I was very low on the bottle. I assume it was the flake being in a higher than optimum ratio when nearing the end of the bottle. Got a new bottle and didn't see it again.

Choices choices.... The aircraft aluminum looks great unless you are planning a weathered "in theater" aircraft

Keith I know you have the D-30 kit. Just remember BAB II did not use the dorsal fillet. I bought the D-25 MiniArt kit to do the same markings. Haven't started yet of course.

Late model Bubbletop Thunderbolts had them for better directional stability

kyledehart5 - Thank you! TJ - okay cool. I read they added it due to stability issues once the design changed to the bubble top.

Alright friends… Surprise time… ![](https://i.postimg.cc/mkrvqs5S/IMG-5549.jpg) The following kits will be the highlight of the build: MiniArt P-47D-30RA Advanced Kit Eduard P-51B Supporting kits include: Eduard Brassin P-51B Gun Bays Eduard Brassin P-51B Engine Additional 3D printed engine parts for P-47 MiniArt Field Workshop MiniArt Cable Spools MiniArt Tool Set Tamiya Allied Jerry Can Set Tamiya U.S Army Infantry At Rest Both of the planes will be opened up showing their engine and wing mounted guns. This build will be a mirror image of my recently finished Luftwaffe Maintenance diorama. Actually, after your last project, this did not surprise me one little bit!
