Yep! Much better! Looks great!

Thanks fellas. Dunno 'bout dat wizard part but I'm feelin' alright about it all now.

Take two came out very nice.

Thanks Carlos!!

Both iterations of the camo look great, Joe! I think you nailed it!

Thanks John. Really trying to get this one right!

I applied a glosscoat to the top side yesterday using Vallejo's acrylic gloss. Dunno what it is about acrylic glosses but it was fairly difficult for me to apply (probably because I thinned it down too much ) and it puddled in a few areas on the starboard wing. Gimme some lacquer based clear and I can work wonders with it. This stuff is like me trying to speak a foreign language. Anyhow.... I sanded the irregularities out of the gloss, touched up some paint where I burned through in the sanding process and re-applied the gloss this morning. Cals are upcoming next....

You are absolutely nailing this 262 Joe, I love the way the mottle turned out both times. The truck project looks like it hauls the mail now! Nice!

Wow, I also have issues with acrylic gloss clears. Despite that, you're doing an exceptionally masterful job on this bird.

What’s your usual gloss clear, and why didn’t you use it here?
