Great looking airplane though. it's really tough to get results like that with today's Monokote
Thank you for that information!! I have not sprayed it yet and will make sure to use a test piece. I have read that Rustoleum by itself is fairly fuel resistant unless you leave the residue on for an extended period before wiping it off. I may just leave it like it is and forget about the Lusterkote.

I know there are many threads out there for weathering, but does anyone have any quick tips on how I might weather this plane directly over the monokote? I do not own an airbrush and I would like to try an add some weathering to this plane.
