Type 90 Thanks Bob. I went to spray the Vallejo matte coat on just a bit ago. Started out great. Then turned bad. Not sure if it's the high heat and humidity. Or the mixing ratio was bad. It was a 2 to 1 ratio.

Type 90 I am now waiting to spray the matte clear on. I was going to do it today. But the temp is around 100F, and high humidity where I am near Fort Worth, TX,

A little something I have been working on. The Tamiya kit. The markings are from a Type 90 as seen in a Godzilla movie, Tokyo SOS. On the antiskid patches. I went old school/ cheapskate route. I roughed it up after running some liquid glue over the patches.

I look forward to seeing this being built. B)

Thanks Bob.

Sounds good,thanks. I will be going to the hobby store near my home on Friday.

Mike and Bob. Thanks for the answers. On that Aqua gloss as a replacement for Future. Does that mean you can add Tamiya flat base to it, the way you could add it to Future?

So then............. I am looking for a good clear matte coat. I do not believe that Vallejo will work for me. I have tried the following thinning ratios. Two drops matte to one drop thinner. One drop of matte to one drop of thinner. Neither works out. It just will not kill the gloss. I am...

Finished this a little while ago. I am going no further with the weathering, Some mistakes were made along the way, but I think I saved it. I messed up in the Tamiya buff/thinner ratio,as I added too much buff. I was never able to get that Vallejo matte coat to actually be matte. :bangs head...

Sorry for the crappy pics. I had to use my iPhone,as my digital camera battery had issues. http://s65.photobucket.com/user/Zodster_2006/library/2017%20AMPS?sort=3&page=1 I changed the settings to say it is public.
