So at the decal and pin wash stage. The Academy decals SUCK. They are very durable BUT they do NOT take to Solvoset at all! I didn't have any other decal softening agent left so this process was VERY annoying and took a while.
So after the pin washes were completed after decals, I hit it one more time with satin coat (which is WAY to shiny) and added some streaking on wings, and fuselage.
I did NOT like the sheen. Too glossy even for US NAVY Blue Gloss. So I decided to give Alclad Aqua Gloss a try. I know it is a GLOSS but I heard good things.
BAM! Perfect sheen. This product went on out of the bottle, NO cutting with anything else. It was perfect! I sprayed it at a 18-20 psi out of my airbrush.
I did however totally mess up the gun smoke! I am NOT happy with that. I guess the paint wasn't thin enough and blasted out. Oh well. ANOTHER lesson learned.
But the sheen is awesome.
DONE!
