Like everyone else I’m having trouble putting the gloss paint on, the red doesn’t look too bad but the white is terrible.

Hi Ian
That gloss doesn't look bad at all. Brush painting gloss seeems to be the real problem with these Starter Kits. Yours looks good and with the decals, lights etc will look fine.

Gloss on. I was going to say if you could attempt a polish, but with what ? Anyway, the decals seem to have smoothed things out.
