One error I've already made is to use a non-matt paint for the blue colour... I used Tamya X-14 instead of XF-14 🙁 I'm going to have to fix this later so they surface isn't so shiny, but the colour looks great apart from this. Learning is fun but sometimes I prefer to be right from the beginning😉

Looks nice. 👍
You could airbrush a clear Matt varnish over the gloss blue.

Rui S - it's going to get a matt varnish before weathering anyway but you got me thinking... Doesn't Tamiya have a matt base they're selling? I think it's called X-21. It's made to "convert" clear paint to flat. I wonder if it works as a separate coat? Thanks for the tip! 🙂

Np, glad to help😉
I use matt varnish over gloss surfaces and normally it works reducing the shiny finish.
