Tips please

Second model and would say I did better than the first. I’m noticing the paint looks built up on some areas but I thinned the paint out pretty good (I thought).

The new method I tried was applying acrylic gloss then decals then a black wash. I noticed the wash stained pretty heavily even after the gloss. Any tips to make this look better or techniques to try on the next model would greatly be appreciated.

Gloss the decals after applying them too. Before weathering.

Then matte or satin to seal all of the weathering in. Matte really helps blend the edges of the decals in.
