Sorry if someone asked this already, but what did you use for the gloss coat?

 

[Crimea_River]

Dare I say it???? A bit of silvering??????

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great so far Wayne!

 

[A4K]

Great work Wayne!

As for the silvering Andy, Revell decals I've used are notorious for it.

Sorry if someone asked this already, but what did you use for the gloss coat?

Jim, I use gunze Sangyo aqueous Hobby Color H30 for my Gloss

Dare I say it???? A bit of silvering??????

most of what you see Andy is the Matt reflection of the edge of the decals and it does look sh!tty...but once a coat of gloss goes over them the 'silvering' effect you see disappears. I will say however that now I have flat coated this beast there are a couple of small areas of silvering that I need to fix....Revell decals are not the best....but i knew that going in and know how to fix them, but some areas are just a pain and you still get some silvering no matter how well you think you got them settled in.
see the last pic where i have glossed and applied the flat coat the areas above the Red lines have silvering along the edge of the decal along the panel line.
