    After some corrections. It is not ideal, but in the end I will share my impressions, which was not quite so with the surface of the entire airframe.

    To reply to your question; it does indeed look a bit on the bright side, but after some clear I think it will dim a bit. Also the light might have some influence here - after a few coats of clear and decals hopefully it will look like you want it.

    Agree as well, Lis.
    The coating will do the work you want.

    Severe wrapping, Lis.
    The anti-glare looks nice.

    Canopy masking and painting. Very hard two step painting. First layer silver, than some masking in front of canopy, and second final layer semi glos black. Canopy seems to be the weakest part of the model, as it contains some elements that are normally the fuselage (simplification of form). I hope that I will be able to finish my work on it with a positive result.

    I think it looks great. Like the others said, you can tone it down a bit with some clear
