Great work Andy I sometimes think none of us give things a proper chance I just accept now that not every day is a good day no matter what I'm squirting through the airbrush ,once again great work you must be well chuffed leaving the shed behind. Dave
Just caught up with this one Andy,Thanks Jim and Dave.
I've been busy in the real world building a full sized Africa Twin motorbike, but I've made a start on the decals and the many tiny stencil markings:

I've got a quiet weekend so I'm hoping to make some good progress on this.
Your skills and experience are on another level to mine Mike so I don't doubt it for a minute.Just been on my knees praying that when I venture into doing mine that it will turn out as good as yours...
Is that de-crozzle or uncrozzle?I'm quietly confident that I can fudge my way out instead
Well I can't see anything untoward!!Thanks Doug.
If anyone cares to zoom in you'll see the horrific paint finish on the underside, where I was a bit enthusiastic with the lacquer varnish and it has crozzled the Model Air.
I'm hoping to disguise this further down the line but it's another reminder that mixing paint types doesn't always go to plan.
Wowser's Andy, loving that prop. Superb finish on the spinner and props!!Thanks for the suggestions chaps but I think I'm on the way to sorting it.
A light nib (sanding) and a few coats of Aquagloss have buried the worst of the texture:

It's only in the odd place where I sprayed too wet and the lacquer has eaten into the acrylic, so hopefully by the time it's had a clay wash (UMP's version of a flory wash) and a satin varnish, it should be acceptable from a normal viewing distance (like the moon)
I've got the props & spinners finished too. I may add a light bit of chipping to the blades but overall I'm not doing too much in the way of weathering:
