    thank you all,

    that way you said Ian would be good for the upper hull and the hood ,to give the worn look, with some chipping

    and the slurry mix Paul is great for the tracks and lower hell ,under the mud guards,

    you know Derek i don't not even have a varnish, some think i should have at this stage,

    just had a look at your site Rick, and did find it off use thank you so much all helps were leaning some think new,

    you know Adrian , that can not be more right,to look at what you are making on diffidence days, as you get tunnel vision , with your work and need to refresh yourself,

    i have read a bit off what has been posted

    but i think it is diffidence in Aust than what you guys get in the UK ? o_O

        Hi Monica iam a little late in replying, but I use Humbrol powders and artist pastel chalks now if you want value for money the chalks are much better value, they will last you much longer and you get lots in the box.

            Lol I also am thinking of getting powders... Never invested in them due to the pricey costs and my favouring of aircraft. Need some of this for the treads for my aircraft as well.

                The introduction video states you can use either Decalfix or Matt Cote. The guy in the video recommends Decalfix. If you use the Matt Cote you need to apply enamel thinners to the solution. Decalfix definitely won't hurt your acrylic paint.

                  Also you cannot rework the powder when applied with Matt Cote whereas you can recoat and scrape with water the Decalfix solution.
