Re: North American Mustang Mk.III
Nicely done Narayan. I use whatever varnish is applicable to the paints that I've used - usually Humbrol gloss coat over enamels and Tamiya or Vallejo gloss coat over acrylics. It just helps to protect the paint from the greasy residue that blu-tak can sometimes leave, particularly on matt paints (you can guess how I discovered that could happen ).
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Looks good Narayan. I find it easier to mask and paint the stripes, rather than use decals. But that's just me...
cheers

Re: North American Mustang Mk.III
Thanks Shaun / Andrew,
I wanted to try out the decals as I've had some success with white decals in the past. Not this time however so in future I think I would paint the invasion stripes rather than use decals.
Here we are at the moment.

Re: North American Mustang Mk.III
All finished! This was a nice kit. The invasion stripe decals look better in the pictures than they actually are. In furture I'll be painting those.

Re: North American Mustang Mk.III
Nice result.
Interesting how we got the camo pattern almost identical, but the actual colour very different, despite obviously working towards exactly the same goal.
