Not anymore it's not , had a slight disaster :confused:

The paintwork seems to have gone all patchy when I put the sealing coat on over the decals , TBH it looks a complete mess at the moment.
Going to brush on a coat of Klear tomorrow , that may or may not remedy the problem..... if not I'm not sure what to do with it.

Panic update....

Brushed on a coat of Klear and the whole thing has dried matt for some unexplainable reason .... looks better than it did with the blotchy paintwork.
Just heading down the local model shop to buy a rattle can of gloss acrylic varnish , I'm sure this will save the day now !
