    Coat of X-22 gloss clear. I think undersurfaces in white looks like repainted night color so it is acceptable effect. I

    Think thin coat of gloss clear are less visible on flat paint.

    I like kits with only few decals. Quality of modelmaker brand was very good. First photo with „uwaga śmigło” (bevare propeller) was made after weathering because I forgot about this decal.

    And final coat of semi gloss clear. I wasn't sure if I liked the weathering on the vertical stabilizer. this was due to the complete non-absorption of oil-wash on the surface of the white paint. It is so matte that the wash instead of migrating to the hollows left streaks, almost impossible to remove. I improved the effect with the Tamiya valorization kit and it seems to be ok. But after semi glos clear it looks quite better. Also frame with racks and bomb bay doors was put in to his place.

    In spite of trying on a matte surfact it look OK in the end. Great light outside too .)

    Masks are not perfect. One turret looks good but another have to thin one piece of frame. How to repaint it now?

    Superb final coat result, my friend @lis! Both turrets look good, you might spot-repaint the second one.
