Hi all,
I have been back in the modelling world for 6 months, and after having built up 5 models, I can see a big gap between my first Mustang and my latest P74. I have definitely improved my construction and painting skills. However, I have a serious problem when it comes to apply the gloss coat prior to the decals, and flat coat afterwards. I would need your advice on that
Gloss coat:
- I started with the Humbrol Modelcote gloss coat, thinned with a cellulose thinner, but it looks like it never really dries. I can't prevent finger print while applying the decals
- Klear: when using without thinning, I have orange peel effect. When thinned with Tamiya acrylic thinner, it becomes too liquid (even with few drops of thinner only). I must do something wrong as everybody on this forum seems to enjoy this product
Flat coat:
I use the Humbrol Modelcote flat coat and it's not to bad, put again, it seems to never dry completely.
Questions: so what you guys recommend me as good gloss and flat coats?
Thanks a lot!
