Lovely looking models chaps, and you're starting to get me interested again.

There's an unbuilt 1/48th Eduard Sturmovik with etched fret flaps and bomb bays sitting on a shelf that's starting to speak to me from afar.......................

The Tamyia top coat gives the best overall look of painted metal IMO.

A little suggestion, before applying decals and the top coat, lightly and I mean LIGHTLY sand the whole plane with a 1600 grit sand paper or polishing paper, it takes away the roughness of the matt paint and makes the paint smooth, then apply the decals and top coat.
