Humbrol 27002 Polished Aluminium Metalcote - 14ml

Humbrol 27002 Polished Aluminium Metalcote is a high-quality model paint, specially designed to faithfully reproduce metallic surfaces on plastic, metal, and resin models. This product was developed by the renowned British manufacturer Humbrol, which has enjoyed great recognition in the modeling community worldwide for many years.

Polished Aluminium Metalcote 27002 features excellent replication of shiny, polished aluminum, making it the ideal choice for painting structural elements of aircraft (e.g., fuselages and wings of legendary World War II fighter planes), tanks, model ships, and cars in various scales: 1/24, 1/35, 1/48, 1/72, and others. The product looks beautiful both on details and larger surfaces, faithfully conveying the effect of real metal.

The paint comes in a distinctive 14ml tin, allowing for convenient and long-lasting use even when working on more extensive modeling projects. The Metalcote formula ensures very good coverage and at the same time makes it possible to achieve a polished aluminum effect by lightly buffing the dried coating with a soft cloth—this produces a very realistic, metallic shine.
