Hi gave the hole model a second coat of Klear to seal the decals....24h and have started the weathering using oils on the side skirts, lighter colour at the top darker to bottom.
Before and after.

Hi I've had a think more like a :sleeping: and have striped what I'd already done and started again.
So added a light wash and the chipping and will let it dry overnight and then on with a dull coat tomorrow then some more weathering.

Hi managed to get the dull coat on and has dried for two days so had a test fit before I finish the weathering off.
