Pretty much, there are some still there but they're far less noticeable. I'm looking forward to doing the next build where there will be no brushed on clears - just sponged - just to see how well it comes out.
It took about 4-5 minutes per coat, it's pretty easy.

Huh! I must not be seeing the size of the model completely right. Good job then!

It's still a sizable model in 1/72, bigger than an Eagle, it's just a quick technique. Put a few drops on a sponge and dab it directly on the model, moving it about and getting it even, then over dab with a dry sponge to remove airbubbles etc. then repeat until you've completed a coat.

Sweet! That is a very cool and weird aircraft, and you have done a really nice job! No streaking in the paint as far as I can see
