Still a lovely looking model though so don't be put off. We all have a display cabinet full of models we know we could have made better so just learn from it and move on.

Causes of this type of effect can be low air pressure, if you are using a gas can keep it in a bucket of warm water while you spray otherwise the pressure drops off, or paint too thick, obviously thin it down a bit. A couple of very thin coats are always better than one heavy one. You might be able to recover this by a lot of carefull wet and dry work, but you could also make it worse, or you could go over the top with a couple of coats of clear laquer which will help to cover over the surface imperfections.
