I have done alot of modeling and model painting over the years i used to use shelac but then found out about poly shade. This is a great product that youcan alter the depth ofcolour by the amount of coats you apply
I alwajys use a sample stick towork out the amount of coats needed. In NZ wecan get poly shade that is aqua and aĺso oil based. If you want toage i would suggest that you use the aqua lightyly
I havefound that Walnut colour ìs the best on thehull and Maple for everything else.
I hope this is helpful and remember to test onsomething else first then you wont gave regrets that you can not undo
