Pencil might work? will have to experiment myself to see if this is satisfactory....

Finish ALL decals on the first gloss coat, when they are all on and settled in, then you gloss over the decals to have the same overall gloss finish to your model....then you finish with a matt coat or two....bit more weathering work then you may seal this if you desire....I would allow at least a day between jobs...Decals, Gloss, Matt coat then we see what is required....ok?

I'm off to bed now talk to you tomorrow...
 
Dan, I've just thought. I don't think Wayne uses Future as a gloss coat, so it might be different the way he works with his gloss. Don't worry though, I'm at the same stage, and the pencil etc doesn't work too well on Future. It will actually BE there, but you can't see it very well, as it will be feint. Bear in mind Future is a floor polish, designed to REPEL things like graphite, chalks, inks etc.
Once you've done all as suggested in the last post, you'll find that doing the pencil work etc on the matt, or semi-matt coat will be a breeze.
It comes up very well, and if you then coat over the top, it looks so natural, you'd think it was a real 'wear' mark, or chip or scuff etc.
 
Love it! It's really come alive! Not familiar with the matt coat you have, so I can't advise, but, as it says 'Laquer' on the bottle, it means it will need more thinning than normal; and laquers dry very quckly Dan, so you'll have to check the airbrush, to make sure it doesn't clog.
 
Dan I have found an article where a guy was painting a model of Mercedes and used MM varnish diluted in 1:1 ratio.But there appeared bruises on the car body the next day.So eihter they gue applied too thick layer of this lacquer or the ratio was wrong.It's true that the kind of finall painting for aircraft should be made in a little different way but it can be a clue.The ratio 1:2 seems to be good.But I would suggest to experiment with 1:2,1:3 and 1:4 ratios.Airbrush a small amout of thinned varnish with these proportions on a piece of glass or plastic and see how it is applied.
 
You don't have to use a lot of it Dan, take a couple of drops of the lacquer for instance then add the correct amount of the thinner and apply a bit on a piece of plastic .And then the next ratio for testing.Simply use drops not a spoonful.
