BSY, do you apply your Matt coat by brush?

I am amazed you're able to pull it off by hand painting all your builds. Well done!

That is impressive. Clear flat coats can be very finicky to apply with an airbrush. With a paint brush is even more difficult in my experience... Bravo!

Mr. Yamato could conduct a master class in brush work.
