Mark, you are right. In many cases, the decals look much better if they are not cleared, but the problem is that this decals need a protection, if you have older kits you will understand why! The decals will yellow in time or they could simply crack over years! It's happened to me and i try to seal all the decals in my future projects equal if they are cars or airplains...

But regarding this topic, i really like very much Tamiya products, but this TS 13 is a monster! It eats not just the decals, sometimes attacks also the painting! I don't buy this stuff anymore, i go better with GS Mr. Hobby Top Coat or Tamiya X 22 acrilic clear. I am experimenting now also with automotive clear with hardener ( i think is a Dupont 2 K) and i am surpprised over the results. I must to make some test especially with Cartograf decals because this looks to be one of the most fragil on the market.
