AK Interactive XTREME METAL Duraluminium (AK482)
Duraluminium is that warm, slightly golden aluminium alloy you see on polished wartime airframes — brighter than plain aluminium, with a bit of character to it. Through an airbrush it goes down as a fine, convincing metal that gives natural-metal builds real warmth and variety instead of a single cold silver. It's one of the go-to shades for breaking up a fuselage panel by panel.

Lay it in among a few other Xtreme Metal shades and your airframe stops looking painted and starts looking built from metal.
Metal finishes live and die on contrast. Build a full natural-metal palette from the Xtreme Metal range and keep thinner and cleaner handy for the airbrush.
