Hi,
Has anyone ever used the above combo with success for flat coating of your model. I used ModelMaster Flat Acrylic last time, and it never really did flatten the coat of future I put on for decals. If you have used it, can you give me some idea of ratios used.

Thanks!

I have to say i have no idae how to mix the 2. but i do know tamiya flats are more of semigloss finish. so i can't say how it would work. let me know after you experiment. stug

Why don't you just stay with the ole Dullcoat? Works great for me.

The reason I'm asking is I would like to stick with acrylics and not use the laqueur based dullcoats. I have model master acrylics, but the last kit didn't get really flat after applying it.

Hey Stug...You can put a dullcoat over Future, as long as it's fully cured...Wait a day or so.

Have you tried Polly Scale Flat coat? You need to thin it 10-15% but it sprays fine and is very flat.
