Clear coat looks great, my friend @johnb! It will for sure give you flexibility when applying the top white.

Slowly recovering from my health issues, so not much progress, but I guess I can call the bottom of the wings done.

@johnb, I think from the pictures the brush-painted solution looks best - at least on screen!

@inflames, small progress is also progress - best of luck with the recovery of your health.

Today was the moment of truth to see if the winter scheme would work well.

After the clear coat dryed sufficiently, I applied the washable white randomly.

Next I used a wide soft brush and applied water on a larger area to get the white a bit 'soaked'.

After that, gently brushing a bit over the 'soaked' surface till the white vanishes at random locations.

Current results are as shown on the next pictures, still a bit shiny because it did not fully dry yet.

Comments on the results are welcome as always, whether good or bad.

My thoughts are to apply a new very thin layer of the washable white and give it a very gentle rub.

Looking real good here John @johnb. I agree with Spiros. Just a smidge more white.

@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. It turned out even better than I was hoping for. The washable white works great.

@eb801, thanks, Eric. A very thin layer it will be.

@tcinla, thanks a lot, Tom. The idea is to apply a very thin layer to smoothen the sharp demarcations of the current effects.

Looks wonderful, my friend @johnb! The washable white is a huge success!

Wings look great, Sebastijan (@inflames). The detailed panel lines and rivets will look great with the paint and weathering.
