Let me know what you find out about the 1/24 sclae trucks, too. I was thinking of making something more like the enclosed race trailers that look like regular freight boxes from the outside, but are complete garages on the inside. Watch the beginning movie from GT1 for an example. I still want to built a one-car flat bed trailer, too, though. |

Well, I had a long discussion with a guy at a local hobby shop. He is a cool dude. He sold me a body shell for one of my old broken models. Cool. I also got a lot of very useful information about modelling, paints, and stuff available in Estonia. Guess what: no letters for my police car! Argh!
As for today, I'll go and buy some clear spray to use on my otherwise almost finished 1/24. Wish me luck - I've never used spray cans before

...that's why I've tried it first on an unneeded decal.
Seems to be working well, although I don't expect any good results from this - the body is hand-painted with paintbrush. But I'm learning how's that skyline doing?

The Skyline (The Kure R33) is going slow, but progressing. I decided it needed more primer, so I am applying that. The subaru is doing superb, most of the whole kit has recieved it's base colour. |

I have only done a few and it seems OK as to what it goes over.

For a race car I usually polish the paint but don't laquer the body. The cars can look too shiny if you laquer over the decals and polish the paint well! |

There are only a few that i have done with the clear coat. Most are just sprayed......left for 2-3 weeks, then i use Tamiya Compound before the decals, followed by Tamiya Modelling Wax for a nice finsh over the decals etc.

Just a very light rub over is all that is needed to bring that "deeper" look out in the decal and remove any water marks left by the decal

I am going to try and get my hands on some then. I haven't seen it here before, so I may have a go at ordering it in.

It's called Tamiya Modeling Wax and come's in a 30ml bottle and has a applicator cloth with it.
It's quite dear to buy ($20NZ) BUT YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED
