i have a few question about finishing my tamiya williams fw-13b and future models
1. i only use tamiya paints, if i use a difrrent brand of decal softner could it act up aganist my paint?
2. there is one part where it has two colors on it, if i sand them down, apply tamiay polishing compound (course, fine, finish) will it mix the two colors together?
3. i have a bottle of tamiya x-21 flat base, is this the same as primer?
4. when the tamiya paint bottle has no indication wheather it is flat or semigloss is the color then gloss?
5. if i aplay tamiya clear coat to parts that are painted in flat and semigloss color will it give them a gloss look? should you ever aplly a gloss coat to flat semigloss colors?
6. when aplaying decals that go on the corwling how do you get the cut right. do you aplay them first with the cowling attached then stick a knife in the middle of the crowling and body and just follow the curve? or do you just precut the decal and hope it comes out alright?
