The reason I asked was the sea-salt looking whiteish marks on some of the Dark Green.....I had the same thing occur when I painted my Spitfire using the Hu116 acrylic. I took a chance and Kleared it and it vanished immediately and apparently permanently.....Don't know whether the same would happen with enamels though!

For what it's worth & all the best

Hu: 116 often looks uneven

After Klear & Matt Cote it usually looks OK though

Since they introduced 'Super' enamel it is much harder to get an even finish with hairy sticks than the old formula. It is much more suited now for airbrushing, which is a pity since it was not so hard to thin the old formula paint to squirt through an airbrush.

Hmmm. I have a devil of an issue spraying H117. Something with that century series, maybe

Last night I scrounged some decals together and applied them. Today I've been fitting more of the small parts

Next job will be to fit the undercarriage
