Ahaha, yes, they are the best. For flat colors I prefer Mr Paint lacquers, but gloss is Mr Color all the way. What a nice Spad!! 👍

thank you...the real test will be getting the weathering to where I want it.

starting the process of applying the decals....

ok...so...apply Tamiya TS-80 (spray can dull coat) allow to dry for a day ... light sand with 2500 ... then decals with Mr Mark Setter and Softer, wait another day ... then another layer of TS-80, allow to dry overnight ... next, sand all decals with 2500 to reduce the carrier film. Finish with another coat of TS-80, ready for weathering. Happy with the results, carrier film is completely disguised, but it's time consuming. I like the TS-80, it leaves a very smooth hard surface, and I don't think using gloss is any better (although I would like to try Mr. Color Super Clear III).

Panel line wash is Tamiya Dark Gray. Next is oil colour stains and exhaust.

Looking busy...
Dave, how do you clean the excess of Tamiya panel line wash? I somehow always manage to eat through my gentle layer of GX100 and into the paint.

Sergej, Let the GX100 dry and harden completely, then use AK050 Odorless thinner. It is quite mild and and I use only a slightly dampened paper towel. If you can actually see the thinner as you wipe the surface....it may be too much. Only use just enough to remove the excess. Have a look here... Youtube Video

I think I'll go back to building tanks....much easier. Although I have a P47 to try out a metallic finish on. Glutton for punishment.
