Blimey,why couldn't I have just said it that clearly?!!I'd leave the masking on until the very end. Sometimes a clear coat spoils the look of transparent parts even though it's supposedly clear.

Brilliant - and yes, a wash was what I should have mentioned Chris.If your using the burnt umber as a panel liner, then it goes on first, then a matt finish to seal everything in once you've finished your weathering stage..
(I presume the burnt umber is being used to create a 'wash', the gloss finish will help the wash flow along the panel lines, where as a matt finish will just absorb and hold the wash)
Thanks Jakko. I'll remedy that before I spray the matt coat!If you’ve removed the masking from the periscopes already, but still want to spray a matt coat over the model, I would suggest you re-mask the clear parts. If not, the crew will end up with frosted glass in their periscopes
Thanks Scottie. It's nice being close to the finish. Problem now is deciding what next as I haven't yet acquired a 'stash' to dig into. Don't know which direction next, done a Helicopter and a tank. Don't fancy a boat. (Spent way too much time on them). So it's a wingy thing but I fancy a Wessex and I also keep looking at more armour!! Decisions, decisions!!!!Looking good mate.
Here, here.Any way put your hand over your shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back . Bring on the next one.
Cheers Dave, much appreciated.Well done Doug great job you must be pleased ,it only gets easier from here its as much a confidence thing as anything else. Can I ask why the drop of washing up liquid was used ,as far as weathering goes its a learning curve we've all been down and I'm afraid in my case anyway ruined a few builds along the way practice never quite makes it perfect but once again get a few tricks up your sleeve and the confidence thing kicks in you start to tread in places you didn't before. YouTube is a great place to learn from but trying to copy isn't a good way to go ,get the jist of what their doing and ideas then go your own way with it. Any way put your hand over your shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back . Bring on the next one. Dave
Thank you Jim, listening to you guys has helped me tremendously. From advice and tips to pointing me in the right direction. Just great.You've certainly done well Doug. You've learned a lot and gained confidence which will help with future builds.
