Well I got the hull painted and clear coated and began applying decals.
Sadly, I am very unhappy with how the paint job came out. For some reason the testors OD came out of my gun very course and dusty like. It was not a smooth finish it was very flat and course. Took lots of clear to get it decal ready. I didn't test out my paint on a peiece of scrap first. I thought I had it thinned enough but maybe the paint was too old. Any way, kinda pissed me off but nothing I could do once it was on the hull. Even after the clear coat, you can run your fingers down the sides of the hull and it feels like sand paper. Man it just pisses me off. a bad paint job can ruin a model, and one that took a really friggin long time to make.
