Adding P/E Parts
Thankful enough, Studio 27 spplied P/E fasteners for this kit. I carefully attached them according to my reference photos.
The green arrows indicate places where I will add P/E fastners after the clearcoat.

ClearCoat
This is what I consider "light" coat. Just enough to cover the surface, but not wet at all. The purpose of this coat is to
provide "biting" for the next two heavier coats. I wait about 30 minutes before applying next coat.
ClearCoat
As you can see, I see some orange peel! Ah, it doesn't bother me at this point, I am not done yet. With a heavier mixture
of thinner, I covered the entire surface of the model. The purpose of this coat is to add some depth to the coat.
Unless I see major paint flaws, I move onto the final coat. I usually give anywhere from one hour to three hours before applying the final coat.
ClearCoat
This is the most important coat! The trick is to apply thick/wet enough to be glossy, but not enough to prevent the paint run!
This acrylic clear will require lots of drying time!
ClearCoat
I am satisfied with the result. More models I make, I can see myself getting better at this.

Here, the decals were first cut along the panel lines; then a strong decal solution wrapped the decals around the edge, and a black wash
along the panel lines was used to enhance the detail level. Lastly, multiple clearcoats were applied to seal the overall decal and surface.

Polishing
I let the model dry for three days and began my polishing process.
