Alternatives to Testor's Dull Cote

Post by CaptainHawk1 »

After reading some posts where people have emphatically insisted that Testor's Dull Cot yellowes over time, I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives that will not.

I think I've heard something about a flat coat that is available from Tamiya, but I haven't used it personally.

Captain Pike: Ha! (ouch)
Commander Burnham: Maybe I should just shut up.

I prefer PolyScale Flat. Thin with a bit of water if required, mix very well, and apply very thin. Don't airbrush so much you see it shine in the light when wet - that's too much. Just enough to take some sheen off. Then let it cure, and do more later.
