Using FUTURE floor polish

P-40 Ace, modelers usually shoot a coat of future before they apply a wash and decals. The wash tends to go along the cracks better. The future prevents the decals from "silvering". Then when finish with the wash, spray with a dullcote.

future does work great, pretty much no matter what,
but it is a good idea to have some kind of frame work.
and Swanny has graciously done the heavy lifting for us.

good luck & welcome to the forums!

Do it however you want. The Future doesn't care! I'm serious. The stuff is so great that you can put it on any old way that you want.

Question, though. Why are you putting it on?
