Hey IPMS Brothers, I wish you all the best. I'm humbled and will report that I used Alclad over Tamiya primer then a coat of future, decals, 2nd coat of future, detailer wash and 50-50 mix of Testors dullcoat and gloss coat thinned by half with lacquer thinner. After that process I accented with Derwent's pastel caulks.
HTH,
Greg.
P.S.
more details on this project posted in the ARC forum "critique corner" FWIW.
