Hi all,
Doing a few projects for a friend.One is an undecorated 0-6-0 Proto 2000 loco.Should I still airbrush on a coat of gloss cote before applying the decals??Or is the 'bare' plactic enough?
Thanks for any help,Dr Dirt.

Bare plastic will work fine,
Bare plastic will work fine, just make sure the color is right for you (I'm asssuming black). Decal, seal with dullcote, weather, re-seal with dullcote, good-to-go!

I would agree that applying the decals on the undecorated model will work! If you want to go a step further before applying the decals you might consider painting the black undecorated model with a coat of steam power black then applying a gloss or dull coat before the decals!
