Thanks Bruce.
Flat coat on. I used Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear for the first time, thinned with lacquer thinner. I like the results.
Next up dry brushing, then weathering.

I didn't know Tamiya had a flat clear in a jar. It looks like it came out really well.

Yes, it’s one of their more recent releases in the expanded line. I mixed at a ratio of 2 parts paint to 3 parts thinner for this session.

Glad that you're back on this one Carlos. Gonna have to try some of this flat clear from Tamiya. Looks great man.

Thanks Joe. I’m happy to be back at the bench again. And yes, based off of my first use, I do recommend this flat coat.

Wonderful work on that Carlos, it looks superb. It's great to see a French tank being built for a change!

Thanks. This is a nice change of subject area. French vehicle’s do have some great camo schemes.
