Default RE: Top Coat for Latex

I should have mentioned that I have tried Minwax water based Urithane and was not satisfied with the results. I have also experimented with other latex clear coats and have not found anything worth coating my finished planes with. That is why the Cabot is so interesting to me, it works sooooo much better. I had almost resolved to order clearcoat from Warbird Colors for this project. I normaly use Oil Based Polyurethane, but the yellowing is not sutable for this project. OK on WW1 planes and gives a nice aging effect, but my current project is a 1/4 scale Sig Clip Wing Cub and I just have to paint it up like Hazel's plane. So a yellowing clearcoat would not work. Hope to get the the flying field this week end so I will post results.
