Hi Steve,

Thanks for the link. Now that I've read through your thread, in regards to your concern about the Model Master paint having a tendency to mark up, yes, the flat paints will tend to scuff readily. Normal handling is fine, but drag a fingernail across the finish, and it will burnish the surface a bit, causing an apparent change in color. I've found that it is difficult to actually chip the paint away, but can be "weathered" nicely.

A light coat of flat clear will eliminate the possiblity of burninshing from the occasional hanger scuff. Also, the flat clear didn't make any difference to the base color, at least ot my eye.

Super job, looks great.

Doug
