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.
