F4F.....Advice needed

[GUY5Y]

I put this on the shelf a couple of years ago,"finished".......ya,right! Ok,so it was kleared,decalled,matt coated.This I have also taken off the shelf to try and turn into a better looking dust collector. I have run some pastel washes over it.my question is......am I to late for oil dotting........or can I with what mix/ratio/colour shoot a filter over it? I can't say it enough.......the learning curve is amazing

The first question would be what type of Matt coat have you used? If its oil base you will could have a few issues.

This comes under the categoray.....ok,decentish.....I want advice to up it a notch

It was testors rattle can

So it's lacquer base then... You should be fine. Once you finish you oil dotting/weathering I would give it another coat with varnish.

Thanks Dave J and Matt.Played with the port wing,and even lightened the aileron with a filter wash....not there yet,but giving me confidence to bang on with the TBM.Learning is getting more and more fun.
