#Zotz decals plus

Model Master's enamel and lacquer clears (including Metalizer Sealer) as mentioned before are excellent gloss coats that don't attack enamels, and are impervious to setting solutions. Also, acrylic clears can and do react adversely to decal setting solutions (fogging, crazing, etc.). I really should know this stuff by now! But can you give me a system that I can use from now on?Īcrylic clears (Future, etc.) can be applied over enamels, but they tend to soak into flats without leaving a glossy finish suitable for decaling. Will either of these react with either varnish, Klear or any other varnish product? I have the option of Mr Hobby UV Cut (flat) or Testor's Dullcote.

#Zotz decals plus

This is a Skyraider in SEA camo, so heavy exhaust and oil stains, plus faded paint.

What about sealing in the decals for weathering? I'm not going to go nuts on the weathering - a light wash maybe, plus chipping and staining. does this need to be over the whole model, or just the decal area? So what's next? There are a bewildering number of options. I'm using a Zotz decal sheet for the markings. I've airbrushed humbrol enamels onto the model as that's what I've always used. The truth is that I have little experience of doing it 'right' having only built three kits since getting back into the hobby (and one of those I hand painted the markings). Let's assume for a moment that I am a rank amateur when it comes to the decaling stage.
