Time to clutch and finish the Tiran-5, I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to the 1st of June deadline for a group build 100% done, but at least fully painted and some very basic stuff like a filter, oils and washes (I hope).
I'm going to try this burnishing fluid and see how they end.

Gloss has a disadvantage in control as the things can get smeared too much. Satin has the flow and resistance of a gloss coat and the pigment/paint control of a flat coat. Also has the most realistic finish of all, unless doing USA/NATO matte patterns.
