you need to paint the decals with gloss varnish then matt varnish to avoid the "silvering" effect.

Very nice work. I really like the Bf 110, gotta love the Iron Marschalls Destroyers.

Repaint is right about the Decals, I work in much smaller scales, 1/300th & 600th, and tend to use satin finish putting one coat on before applying the decals and a second to seal them in place. In the larger scale I would definitely do as Repaint says.

Looking forward to seeing the good guys and welcome to the Airhead community.

Many thanks Fatman, yes great advice from Repaint, varnish has been ordered, appreciate the help, this is all new to me and I'm loving it, looking forward to my first game with CY6
