I'm always happy to get tips to improve. I would like the finish to have been smoother, and as you've mentioned, thinning it down would help with that. Also with the rubbing where there are tight clearances. I used Testors, Tamiya and Humbrol. Some of the colours were quite old so probably way too thick.

I've been wanting to try acrylics for some time now, next paint job will start fresh and definitely thin down the paint.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
