I finally applied a topcoat to my Mark II, which I'd left untouched after applying the decals. It's a glossy finish.

The thumbnail photo shows the rear skirt missing. I intended to do a little modification, but it failed, so I added putty, which made the original shape unrecognizable. I tried hard to sand it down, but it just got worse. It's beyond repair. I gave up.

The topcoat really makes a difference. However, because I'd left it untouched for a while after applying the decals, several flew off while spraying. Clear coating is difficult, though. That's because my painting area has an open-air ceiling. When the weather is nice, it's too bright, and I can't see the painted surface very well. Just a slight dampness is enough.
