What kind of gloss coat is this? Presumably there is one. Eh, referring to photo six.

@Treehugger It's a standard Mr. Hobby gloss coat. I did a panel wash just before picture six, and hadn't yet applied another clear coat.

Looks like a very nice and subtle wash. I like it a lot.

Thanks guys! I'm really pleased how it came out considering it's my first ship. Honestly I think I'll stick to airplanes after I finish the ships in my stash 😛
