Ships Hull Clear coat

Can't seem to find Testors over here (UK), I'll give the Tamiya a shot..

Thanks for the replies guys.

Testors clear coats (glosscoat and Dullcoat) work fine on top of testors enamel.  They have been playing a lot with their formulas and putting out both enamel and lacquer clearcoats in the last few years.  Techniques are different and drying times vary widely, but I use Testors enamels almost exclusively and have never had a problem using any of their clearcoats over enamel as far as compatibility or adhesion.

I think the uneven finish is down to my poor thinning technique.

Will Testors lie okay on enamel?  I have also found (fairly locally) Tamiya TS matt clear coat, will this lie okay on enamel?

First off, did you thoroughly clean the hull? Prior to any assembly I wash in warm water and dish soap to remove manufacturing oils. When I am ready to paint I clean the part with Testor's Plastic Prep and let it airdry. There are plenty of overcoats available. Testor's Dullcote comes in rattle cans.
