AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Duraluminium 30ml

The AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Duraluminium (30ml) is a high-performance lacquer-based metallic paint designed to replicate a realistic duraluminium finish on scale models. It is part of the Xtreme Metal range, known for producing ultra-fine metallic particles that deliver highly authentic natural metal effects, especially on aircraft.

This colour is particularly suited to aircraft skin panels, structural areas, and varied aluminium tones where a slightly darker, more realistic metal finish is required.

About Xtreme Metal Duraluminium

Duraluminium is a lightweight aluminium alloy widely used in aircraft construction. The Xtreme Metal version is formulated to closely mimic this real-world material, producing a smooth, highly reflective metallic surface once properly applied and buffed.

It is especially effective for creating contrast between different metal panels on natural metal finish (NMF) aircraft.
