  1. W&N every time for me. Never fails. It comes out the bottle quite thick but it still sprays well neat. No Idea how that works... I have also thinned it with their own Flow Aid. Good for brush painting too. Rick.
  2. Nice choice! I did one years ago and it went together ok. I did have trouble with the canopy I seem to remember though, I left it in the open position in the end. It now has Boris The Spider spider living in it... It looks good with after market decals, as the Heller decals were pretty U/S. Rick.
  3. There's loads of MX5 plates about, so many that I've never been tempted to own one for mine! Rick.
  4. That's interesting Chuck. I managed to get a bottle from China but haven't had the chance try it yet. It's weird stuff, it never seems to evaporate! One bottle was broken in the post (at the local post office, it got from china to the UK fine!), so the packaging was soaked with the stuff. It never did dry out! I'll try you recipe soon. Rick.
  5. I'm talking Enamel based clear coat. The W&N matt is a very good acrylic varnish, but it's not what I'm after. Rick.
  6. Interesting. Cheers. Rick.
  7. Having gone back to mainly enamels, what's your "Go To" gloss enamel clear coat? It has to be something I can get in the UK and thin easily for the Airbrush and hairy stick work. Cheers. Rick.
  8. Yep, just like my old job. Glad I'm out of it... Rick.
  9. Lovely! Wish my real one had that deep a shine to it.... Rick.
  10. They do look quite easy to knock up on the PC though. Rick.
  11. Hope the after market peeps get "On board" with this and produce decals for the two Manx boats. I need both on my shelf! Rick.
  12. That makes sense and I have some Swan lighter fluid kicking about (no idea why, must have tried it as mixer..). Stirring isn't an issue, good old electric stirrers.... As my OP, it's the thinning the contents in the tin for long term storage that's of interest. The applying to models is quite a different subject and I'll stick with cellulose or white spirit substitute, depending on the situation/application method. Cheers chaps. Rick.
