Bravo! You kept at it and got to the finish line.
Second what PhoenixG said, your Tiger now has character 
It looks good to me.

Thankyou all for your tips, support and encouragement! Lessons have been learned, and a disaster averted that would’ve otherwise befallen a more expensive kit. I’ve since managed to source some low-odour mineral spirits, placed some Abteilung502 oils on order and lined up another cheap kit to “ruin” as I try a different technique…
May I also suggest, since you will now use mineral spirits and oils for the wash, to have at least 2 coats of acrylic clear on prior to the wash?
Tamiya’s X-22 is good for this.

My two go to clears are
AK Gauzy Agent Gloss
Alclad Aqua Gloss
They both spray straight from the bottle and dry to a good hard even finish

Keavdog & Tim, thank you both for your “visual aids” to help us remember these combinations. I’m a visual learner so these helped a lot.
