I agree with that also, Wojtek. I quite often use Humbrol, which is in bottles now in the U.K., especially if I am brushing. Just a tiny touch of thinners helps it to 'flow' easily. But I have found Klear very useful, when sprayed for a final thin coat on a gloss finished model. I also use it as a base for matt and semi-matt coats, as it goes on well and doesn't yellow, unlike many matt varnishes. Of course, virtually all of my models are fairly large, compared to a 1/72nd scale fighter, which makes a difference, as it's easier to brush-out or spray cover with Klear without having a build-up. Sorry Wayne, back to your thread!

Other side decals......all on the main aircraft now, so will give it a final coat of gloss overall on the weekend and move on to getting the other parts up to speed.

Wayne, approx how long dis it tak eu to spray on the gloss, on just the one wing??? Was it several coatings or just one apllication???

 

[Wayne Little]

Only a couple of minutes...light coat first, sort of a semi-gloss, then usually a second slightly heavier coat for a full gloss.

Looking brill! I've always wanted to know what the upper U/C door stencils are for, the ones that look like graduations of some sort. In forty years, after numerous pics, books and plans, I still haven't found out! I'm guessing it's something to do with load settings? The last decals I tried to read were on the old Hasegawa 32nd kit, and were - squiggles!
