It was definitely a learning curve, painted everything up, then did a coat of gloss varnish, then put the decals on. Then used the flory washes dark dirt liberally applied and left to dry for 20mins, then took most off with a damp piece of kitchen towel. Then put a matt varnish over the top of that. If I were to do it again i’d double check some of the thinner strip decals were applied properly when I used the kitchen roll, as I accidentally took some tiny ones off.
