I'll strip it down and get it back in the bath tomorrow.
I'm right at the end of my Klear so need a new replacement of some kind, any suggestions

Tiffy has got the Klear coat on now, I'll spare you a photo but I can now do the decals tomorrow Right a question for you. I was using my Neo to put the clear on and it was working fine but there was tiny air bubbles coming out of the trigger/finger button. I thought it might be an O ring but last time I had that happen it didn't come out of the trigger it bubbled up in the cup and nothing was coming out of the end but it is this time, iss it something different, it still works fine other than the bubbles? Ian do you have a blueprint or parts diagram of the AB? If yes, take a picture and post it here. Bubbles coming out of the trigger doesn't sound good at all. But before I say anything, I need to see what it looks like.

Not many panel lines so I opted for a MIG pin wash instead of the Flory wash When this is dry I'll give it a tiny bit of streaking to the wings and mat coat, job done

Thanks mate I'm going to put a "little" bit of streaking on as I want to try my new AK pencils

Nicely matted I must say . A word of advice for the pencils Ian. If you draw the streaks on, don't apply too much pressure. Once the marks are to your satisfaction, blend them in with a damp brush until you have the desired effect. Also you might find using a wet brush, dragged over the tip to collect the pigment, a little easier. This way gives you more effect from the start. Then blend them gently in as above. If all goes wrong, then just use a wet wide brush to wash the pigment completely away.
