thanks, it was the clear coats that gave me the most grief! I found the gloss coat started to "melt' the gold paint! Both were Tamiya paints, Gold acrylic and rattle can gloss. I have had trouble with the rattle can matt before, but never the gloss and there was plenty of drying time in between as well.

 

The big problem with the decals was that they weren't 100% correct, they missed the small white section at the bottom of the flash running down the tail (I corrected by adding a small piece of white decal. Then the nose stripes are meant to coming together in a single point at the nose, not a chisel point. Plus the other thing was they were quite thick and really hard to conform over scoops and such.

 

I haven't 100% given up on her, I may end up striping her completely back and repainting her then masking and painting the strips to get them right, or if that's too hard, do her in her fighting colours which would be a shame.
