      Hi mate. I use tamiya acrylics too and I always use testors dullcoat. Have never had a problem with the finish.

      Cheers

      Hi stefan i can highly recomend Vallajo matt varnish, a small amount added with some water and it goes a long way..... it gives a very good matt finish also.

      I agree with Scott, Vallejo is good stuff! Remember to give the bottle a good shake!

      I have Humbrol Mattcote and Xtracrylix Flat Varnish. Both good at the job. Just remember to shake the Humbrol REALLY well if you use it.

      I use Vallejo Spray Matt Varnish, it works wonders on acrylics and you don't ned much of it, a large tin lasts a long time!
