RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi, I,ve had a go at weathering my first tank, I mainly used enamels for wash, rust etc, wondered should I give the whole thing a coat of matt clear and if so what should I use ? Thanks 

Following advice from the forum I have just bought a tin of Ronseal Fast Drying Matt varnish, it should last years compared to the tiny pots that model shops sell?

Klear Kote floor polish is another one that people use.

mine is Klear Kote buy johnsons its a floor polish/protector

Brilliant , thanks guys, are you using brush or thinning and using air brush ? sounds like a great idea and should save the pennies, cant seem to post pics, even they are reduced and are j peg, just says not supported    thanks again 

i do both brush and airbrush

try sending your pics to paint and re-saving should re-format them 

Thanks I'll give it a try 

Johnsons Klear is brilliant for a gloss coat and the more misty coatings you apply, the deeper the shine. Ronseal matt varnish is the best for a matt coat that does not "frost" - but it needs to be thinned.

Im getting in some rust creator next week these are the results i got.

Is that rustol mate? Looks very effective I must admit, very good.

i got that rust stuff from rc tank.de , its good stuff like the pictures andy posted show, but it is expensive, i paid about £18 for 2 little 20ml bottles(its a 2 part thing) but like i said, it is good
