                        Hey

                             Guys

                                    I am about to finish my 1/48 Tiger I and was wondering what flat finish do you use after your done decaling?

                        I have used dullcote and it seems ok.

                        Just wondering because I once used Testors acryl glosscote over Tamiya paint and it caused the paint to run for some reason.

                        However, that model was not primed and this one has been primed then painted with Tamiya products.

                        TIA

                        I like Testors Model Master Acryl Flat.  It's more flat then their Dullcoat.  It also can be airbrushed right from the bottle.

                        Polly Scale Flat or Satin is the best I've tried.

                        I second Ross' vote for Polly Scale. Good stuff!
