Thanks for the information. It's always good to know how the marks appear and why them appear.

Then decals applied over a layer of Acqua Gloss. After one wash and the matte clear.

And is near the end. Glue the pieces, paint the antenna and the propeller and some wear on the paint.

I pushed the "like" button as this is the only one available in tapatalk. Will change it to great build once back at my PC.

What matt finish did you use? And do you get the same finishing with other varnishes?

I want to thank everyone for following, for your comments and for the help provided. To all my THANK YOU .

I thought I had finished the model. I took the pictures and then I realized it was missing four small pieces. The mass balance. They are already painted gloss clear with only the wash and the matte clear.

The photos.

Best regards
