John, You could always try applying a coat of Future or Gloss to create a uniform surface, then respray the Lusterless Flat to even things out? That's exactly what I was thinking. You will probably need to spray the entire vehicle with a gloss coat to get it uniform again. |

Nice to see the paint on this one. Not to worry about those spots, like you said, weathering.

Thanks guys! I didn't use the Future (though that would have been better) and just sprayed it with the lusterless. A bit of dusting up and all is good.

All done now. The pictures show more of a bluish tint than what it really is. It's actually much darker. I'll see if I can get better pictures for the gallery.  |

wow done already. Yeah that looks much better. Amazing what some layers f weathering will do to a model. That's the reason why I tell people not to worry if they think they messed up, the weathering will blend things, and cover others.
All around awesome job John.

Joe, thank you very much!
Andy, thank you very much! If you'd like to add it to the GB list it's ok by me though I didn't finish on time.
Carl, thank you very much. LOL, no rest here. Already pulled one out that I started a couple of years ago. Trying to finish up old builds and this should about do it.
Gary, thank you very much!
Tony, thank you very much! Going to finish up a Leopard 2A6 I started a while back.
