Alclad ALC 311-120 Clear Cote Light Sheen 120ML – Semi-gloss Clear Varnish

Alclad ALC 311-120 Clear Cote Light Sheen 120ML is a high-quality clear varnish from the renowned manufacturer Alclad II, offered in a practical 120 ml bottle. This product is designed for modelers who value a realistic finish for plastic, metal, or resin models. Its characteristic slightly satin, semi-gloss effect (light sheen) excellently replicates surfaces with a subtle sheen, providing models with a finish similar to the originals used throughout the history of aviation, automotive, and military fields.
