I have just sprayed my Meng T-90 with Humbrol Mat Varnish (do not use this product) and its dried with a lovely white shade all over the painstakingly applied 3 tone camo. So my question is as I cant find any proof on the interweb, Do the Russians still paint their vehicles white in winter? If so I might be able to salvage something if not Im not a happy bunny.

hey Richard.
you might be able to save it. I had this happen, and I saved it by LIGHTLY!!!! spraying straight lacquer thinner over the white areas.
try it on a few hidden spots first tho.

it may not work for you, but it is a better option than having to strip all the paint off.

I have been using humbrol mattcote for years and only had this once. I have since switched to vallejo because of the smell.

Not sure but I think a simple spray of gloss coat should remove the frosting. After that just wait until dry and go with your flat coat again. Maybe using another brand this time

I have had such problems using different products. You might have sprayed the product too heavily. I corrected mine by spraying a gloss coat this should remove the white cloud. Then respray you dull but lightly. Might have to spray your item several times. This should eliminate your problem.

Hello!
Simple solution for your problem ist to put a light wash or better a filter on the entire model.
Let the wash dry and relax...

Greetings
