The Nismo Skyline progresses further...it's got two good coats of Tamiya clear, which caused the previously etched surface to reappear...

so I smoothed it out and now have an entire can of Gunze Mr. Topcote on it-partly to seal in the decals. The Gunze is some nice clear as well, dries really fast and feels slick as teflon, prior to any polishing. This and the Z should be ready for a show on Saturday. I'm really digging this color combo...the black parts of the decals are a bit hard to see, but for a darker color, it's very intense.
