Gloss clear.
With the temperatures and humidity tolerable in my paintbooth, it was taken out from hibernation today, Don Pedro was one of the builds that got some attention.
Wait – what? 4 months rushed by! Well, it is high time to smoothen this one, and it got two thin layers of Humbrol Clear to seal it all.
Some orange-peel effect occurred, but nothing compared to the look of it just after I sprayed it.
I had thinned the varnish with 2 parts destilled water, and the result was rather interesting to say the least.
The gloss was left in small blobs on the surface, but I think it will be OK when it cures as I want to add a layer or two more before I add the final coat. The reason for this is that I left some huge ridges all over when I painted the plane. Lesson learned?
Sadly it is now off to fully cure before a few strokes with a super-fine sandingstick, and it will be in the box for a long time again.
