Paint/Weathering Help
Hello Fellow Tankers !!! I need some advice. I just finished painting my 1:9 scale Abrams with Model Master Spray Enamel (Modern Desert). I like the look and I believe the color is better (closer according to some) than the alternatives. Anyway, I want to use an enamel oil for a filter or two, and then for a final wash. Colors not yet decided, but definitely darker. What can I use as a sealer for the enamel topcoat? Can't be acrylic because supposedly it will destroy the enamel paint, but I read somewhere that oil enamel washes can be used over an oil enamel base coat if "sealed" with an acrylic clearcoat. Is it the acrylic thinner (Tamiya) that will destroy the enamel base coat? If thats the case, why won't regular acrylic paint do the same thing? Ingredients are pretty much the same - just different amounts, and an acrylic is an acrylic, etc, etc, etc. Right ??? Any help will be greatly appreciated !!! Thanks.
