Yea i'm going "don't understand it never happened before" , then it hit me,  :icon_zombie: I usually spray the matt varnish not brush it on. :-[

I think maybe the Tamiya varnish is a bit too 'hot' for the Alt. Cleer.  Valuable lesson learned  :-\

Great recovery!  Looks like it just came out of the paint shop.  :smiley:

It came out more than OK - it's great! I love how you can see the call sign reflecting off the wings. It looks ready for the airshow.
