Country:  | Nice job Wayne. Why did you apply a gloss over the decals and then a clear flat? It that better than applying just applying the flat?

Country: | DBII I always put a second gloss coat over the decals once they are applied, this then ensures the entire area is the same 'coat' or surface finish.
I have found that in some cases without the the second gloss coat, the decals will have a different sheen (usually more flat) than the surrounding surface.
...and Thanks guys for your comments! | |

Country: | All right, all right, you guys talked me into it; I'm about halfway through a 1/35th Tiger I Ausf. E myself (early-model), and about 25% through a 1/35th Maus. I'll post some pic's as soon as I get the chance (and I've still got a 1/35th Jagdtiger and E-100 waiting!).

Country: | Oh... Wayne has been the first with his answer.  So OK.
In addition only.
The flat paints and matt thinner are rough on a surface so decals cannot stick to the surface enough good.Applying the gloss clear varnish on the rough surfaces you make them much more smooth and then decals can stick to them much easier.The next step is to put a matt (flat) cote to preserve decals and make the surfaces flat again.

Country: | Here's my 1/35th Dragon Panther II that I finished about 10 years ago. Wait until you try doing a tank with individual tread links.......
I really should be working on my Nashorn.
