Here is my Tamiya P51.  A nice kit to build, I used this one as a test for Alclad natural metal finishes.  I used polished aluminum over a gloss black enamel base coat then used aluminum and dark aluminum for different panels.  The only real problem I encountered was that you cannot seal your decals in with a clear coat over the polished aluminum.

Next time I will use the flatter aluminum, duralumin, dark aluminum and white aluminum which I now know can be sealed over.  The kit decals were used with Gunze Mr mark setter and softer.  Hope that you like it.
