I like the gentle metalising on exposed edges and the shading on the panels which I think is very subtle and effective.

There looks to be a little silvering of the decals, although it coulf be the photo. Would some decal softening solution help with this?

Definitely worth entering in AMoM though!! Good luck!!

I'm not familiar with Gunzer super flat clear, but what I would try first is taking a very sharp needle (something like a small gauge hypodermic would be ideal) or the tip of a new scalpel blade to make small holes in the decal, then re-applying (again and again) the decal softener. Now the matt coat's on this might not work too well. It would be interesting to hear what other people suggest.

For future reference, did you apply a gloss coat before you applied the decal? I always do this (silvering is due to small air bubbles under the decal and you get far fewer of these on a smooth, "gloss" surface), pretty much soak the decal in micro-sol and, 24 hours later reapply the gloss (Future / Klear floor polish) before applying washes, matt coats and weathering.
