Sure you got the pictures right? The first one doesn’t have any decals on and the colour looks like the sprue colour.
In fact it is. You do not have the extra petrol cans on the side either.

That is the first Klear coat on in the top poto, take it from me
The decals went on after the first Klear coat and the extra jerry cans were an after thought

Nice touch Ian! About the color, I really can't help. Some times when I apply the gloss coat the colors looks darker. Flat coat always bring the colors to the lighter side...

I had the same Marco with my Hellcat and again that was Tamiya paint I used, some people though it was black after the Klear went on I wonder if it's how Tamiya reacts to |Klear

How long would you normally leave it after oil dots before adding mat varnish

Cheers Guy appreciate that Oils on, now don't forget they look a lot softer in real life believe me The layout for the trailer Jerrycans primed Bit of stowage after I played with some oils, not great but first attempt
