I reciently finished the tamiya T-55 tank. I painted it with an enamel testors russian green color, which was great except for the glossy appearance it gave my tank. I figured that was good in the beginning because I wouldn't have to add Future to decail spots. I than sprayed the tank with testors clear flat to seal the pastel work, decails, and wash's. The Testors coat however really didn't flatten the finish too much so I put another coat on. This improved the finish but it still wasn't as flat as I'd like it to be. I sprayed more clear coat on and got my flat finish, but you can allmost see the layer of clear coat on the model. Also to add to the chaos on my last coat the clear coat pooled in some areas, giving the finish a wavy, uneven effect that looks terrible. It doesn't look like I can save this model ($50) however I'd like to solve the problems.
If any one knows of a good clear flat besides testors that works better please let me know.
