I use Future floor polish (an acrylic) mixed 75:25 with Tamiya flat base, then airbrushed at low psi (15-20). It's an old modelling trick that some of you into scale models might have heard about. The results are consistently dead flat and the coat is extremely durable (it is meant to protect floors, after all). It's also incredibly cheap. Straight out of the bottle it is high gloss, so you can use it to prep decals as well as coat clear plastic for canopies, etc. and they come out really clear!

The advantage is you can do it indoors without a spray booth. No toxic fumes like Krylon or Testors lacquers (which btw are excellent products, but I use those outside only, and the temps have to be 68+ degrees or you'll have problems with those sprays). Actually, it smells like apples!

Do a search online for Future floor polish and models and there should be lots of info on it.

Oh, and first post. Just got the new HL Panther G and a WSN T-34 and will be working on those soon.

Hi all!!
