Sadly though, looks like my gloss clearcoat didn't quite bond. Not sure if it was the mix I used in the airbrush or not applying enough, but he now has a nickname - Captain Fuzzbutt. I'm suspecting lack of a good bond wasn't due to the thinner in the oils, as it cracked and flaked in other areas. Come to think of it, I don't recall if I washed this kit initially, so I suspect that's the biggest reason.
He has since gotten a good scrub down to get the original gloss clear coat off, and now has had a satin clearcoat applied, and several layers of it at that. Sadly some of the panel lining courtesy of a Gundam Marker Brown Fine Tip isn't there anymore, but nothing oils can't help bring back!
