What a Difference a Day Makes:
After yesterday's fiasco painting highlights I tried again this morning with acceptable results. I will have to touch up the dark after my German Camo Black Brown paint comes. Amazon sent the wrong colour than what I ordered and I didn't notice until this past weekend.
No Problem............
Anyway I acquired a bit of finesse over night and the highlights shaped up better

I'm getting the hang of this I think.
