It would look great with the matte look, then you can apply the flat clear coat. Dupont has a flat clear coat but its for full size autos, not scale models. :( from looking at your model’s picture, you could also consider some weathered effects.

You have three choices, either flat, semi-flat or full gloss. Looking from at the pictures, i suggest you go with the flat coat. Head to the tamiya dealer and grab your self a clear flat coat. I'm not a fan of tamiya paints my self so instead, head to Bo-Saleh's shop in muthana and grab your self a Gunze- flat coat can. They come in different grades but trust me, it's the best clear coat you can get in kuwait (in a can, unless your using an airbrush.) Sealing won't protect you from scratches perfectly, but it will help to keep the main paint job intact without harm. *Just a reminder, the tamiya spray cans are lacquer based so make sure you get a lacquer based clear coat!! * After your finished with your paint job, make sure you seal your paint with a clear coat of your choice.

I thought about using the red thread locker but decided to leave that as backup incase the blue doesn't work. i've lubed the gears good with Molybdenum grease so I am safe. ah thats interesting.

Use the hard thread locker the one which comes in red. And don't forget to lube the gears.(Not with Vaseline...hhahahaha loool) Yeah but if you should know, proffesionals use plastic gears on spurs because metal causes radio interference and metal pinion because it provides stability and loss of grip or something like that(can’t get the right word).
