ROGER, Chris, it seemed to me that it was a DY lighted with some drops of Buff or White...

Really, it seems to me a very nice DY, Chris.

[Chris S]

Jelly ,normally I would lighten a little with Buff or Deck Tan to fade the panels out a bit . But Im doing a whitewash this time so no point really

Chris.

 

[spud]

thats some ive never used on a model is that Klear stuff what does it do apart from sealing it and make it look glossy?

 

[Chris S]

(((lol))) Thats the whole point of it mate ,to seal the paint for weathering and give a glossy surface for the decals and for the washes . It can be used as a clear finish too ,it polishes up real nice

Chris.

 

[spud]

lol ive never used it maby ill get some and try it out
