Varnish eh? What a nuisance

It's looking very nice. It might sound strange but the I like the way you've done the wheels the best.

Cheers guys.

I think my issue wasn't the Klear, or the gloss as such, but the conditions. I.e. the gloss on that part was obviously not quite dry enough, so adding another liquid on top loosened it all. I guess it would have done the same even if it was water I had put over for example.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't think I am going to bother giving the model a wash. Some panels are pretty red, but others are still dark from the pre-shading etc and so I think I will leave it. The Red Arrows are very very clean and so I think its ok that from a slight distance, panels are not that obvious etc, because they aren't obvious on the real ones either unless your up close.

With that in mind I will just be giving the model a few final coats of Klear now the decals have dried overnight and will get some pics into the Gallery section, and a video onto Youtube when that is all done.

Cheers
