Bob Cotsford Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've always used a coat of clear, matt or gloss to suit the model. Is it electric or glow John? RIP Solarlac Clearcoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's a mates 1/4 scale Nieuport, decals are complex shapes (devil/goose) petrol engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Am with Bob with Matt or Gloss as required But, with less acrobatic models, I do nothing, as vinyl is still plastic and If you are not flying through your own exhaust I just wipe down after each flight as opposed to the end of the day. Or if really finnicky, the suitable varnish blown on, on a warm day, not zero degrees like today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Crook Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 On my electric models, I give the airframe a coat of Plastikote lacquer from an aerosol. It's available in matt, satin and gloss, and hasn't reacted with any of the decals or paints I've sprayed it over, mostly foamy warbirds. Obviously I've no idea how it resists fuels.
