Here is a Revell 1/48 Hornet in Blue Angel colors that I recently completed as a comission. Paint is MM enamel Blue Angel blue and yellow for the wing and fin tips. I shot several coats of MM clear gloss enamel and let it sit for 5 days or so then used Simoniz Haze Remover to polish away the orange peel. The result was a glass smooth finish. I used the kit decals but in retrospect it would have been better to use thinner after market ones. Solvaset did a good job in snuggling them down.

Thanks guys. LOL wn, was wondering when someone would catch that. I forgot to take the spongy thingies out for the pictures. They do a great gob in keeping overspray out.
