If you're good, free-hand spraying will work in 1/48, but not in 1/72.

No quibble about the drying time or the finish in terms of its ability to cover up small flaws but it certainly looks matt rather than satin to me. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Shane Weier [mailto:sdw@qld.mim.com.au] Sent: 14 January 2002 05:11 To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [WWI] Humbrol "Satin" varnish Hi all, I finally "finished" the Toko Pfalz D.XII that my young son dismantled with a tennis ball back in August. Since I passionately hate acrylic clears (Future excepted) because in the Brisbane humidity they stay tacky for literally months, I've taken to using the Humbrol clears. Yesterday I deadened the high gloss finish of the Pfalz with a coat of Humbrol Satin. Only.....it sure looks flat to me. Dammit, this didn't happen last time I used the stuff. I wonder if I have a dodgy can (it was very very well mixed!) or a mislabelled Matt Anyone else use the Humbrol, and if so, care to comment on just how glossy or matt the Satin finish usually appears?

Dammit, this didn't happen last >time I >used the stuff. I wonder if I have a dodgy can (it was very >very well >mixed!) or a mislabelled Matt Perhaps a dodgy can but my experience with "clears" is that they vary across producers. I use only acrylics, including Future. After applying Future to give some protection, I use Testors "Flat" as a spray coat to take off the shine. It is somewhat flat but not too "that" flat. For example, not flat enough for armour or military vehicle. Polyscale "Flat" on the other hand, I've found to be really dull flat. I like the way Testots Flat sprays through my airbrush, so it's a good solution for me - gives a sort of "dull satin". I also agree with you about the fragility of the Eagle Strike lozenge decals. They chip easily. I have just about finished my two Albatros D.V's. My solution is to coat them with Future as quickly as possible after application - but I still ended up doing touch-ups on the lozenge.
