Says its an 'improved formula', question is, is it just as good as old or even better?

To be honest Mr T I see no difference to the old stuff which is a good sign..

Loony... its used as a clear coat for protecting paint but is also used on aircraft canopies by some modelers to give it an extra shine and remove any slight scratches etc.

Its also used as a first coat before Decals are applied so to allow the decal to adhere better then another coat to give the decal protection. Imagine its like a gloss finish but because its water based it will not attack the silver paint on the MP4-23 if you wanted to give it a coat or two. I have used Alclad2 Silver Chrome and it needs a clear coat to protect the paint otherwise the silver will come away after constant handling. Its also best apllied with an airbrush but can be wiped on with a lint free cloth. Its milky in colour when in liquid form but dries quickly and clear once dry.

There is a section on tyres on this forum where people have had "dull" tyres sent and this will give it that "new" shine once applied.

Hope this helps?

Danny you can get a pretty good Aztec airbrush and compressor for around £100 to £150 for starters..just make sure it has a psi regulator and moisture trap. Have a look on ebay for some good deals.. as for the "Klear" you use it straight from the bottle, no need to dilute.

I have a badger, cost me about £150 over ten years ago dual action absolute top airbrush. I've used the air cans and there ok for small jobs. They are expensive if you wanted to do a lot of spraying. I was in hobby craft about an hour ago and I noticed some really cheap airbrushes, about £15, so I can't imagine they will be that good but if you just wanna spray your tyres and some simple stuff then I'm sure they will do.

Good point warthog, yeah try it out first, you really don't want to beggar the mclaren up.

Hello Spencer,

Its nice to see you as a 'Font' of all knowledge in the world of modelling!!!!

Tony

Being really super picky, the actual style is called a typeface. The font is the set of individual characters at a specific size for a typeface.
e.g. Times New Roman is a (type)face which is a collection of different size fonts. In English, font and fount are generally considered interchangeable.

Also, I have a bottle of Klear, bought it last year when it was mentioned here. What do I do with it and when should I do it?

As someone new to this, please excuse the question.

If i use this on my Akagi model, it will act like a protective barrier for the paint?

You hit the nail on the head... 'English', but you left out 'modern'....
Not neccessarily a good thing.
The words aren't really interchangeable, but are 'accepted' as the meaning same, depending on the context.
In a few years time 'modern' English will say that 'TXT' is the same as 'text' and 'LOL' means laugh out loud.
I'm appalled at how many 'professional' writers, authors and publishers now leave the (') out of the contraction 'it's' or 'its'', (it is, depending on ownership of the noun) and just write: 'its', as per American English (who, with all due respect, don't really understand English anyway)
Modern English leaves a lot to be desireds at times. (Bear in mind I'm a 57 year old codger and believe it or not, I have had two novels published and I had a VERY fussy proof-reader)
BTW.... Please take all of the above waffle in the light-hearted tone in which it is intended.....
And as an aside, I personally have never had problems with Klear.......
Roy.

Of course, always.
Have you any advice for Klear? Do I apply before or after decals? Is it a paint on, spray on?
