Did you printed from Shapeways or from a different source? How much it costs to print a 1/20 model like yours?
Congratulations with the result!
I would like to know how much efforts needed to polish models printed by Shapeways, I think in resin.
I did some gadgets with Shapeways in nylon, very impressive but nylon is not for model.

I know prints from Shapeways from the past.
Very rough printed on the outside.
It needed a lot of filler primer and sanding.
Again, not suitable for this scale 1/20.
The front and rear wing are very fragile.

One thing that I learn from military modellers is that the matt color coats have to be over coated with gloss clear before decal. After putting on decals, re-coat the model with clear matt coat.
The matt color surface is too rough for the decal glue to pull the decal completely to the surface. Hence silvering occurs.

I think this one is SLS, of coz not suitable for modeling
But in Shapeways there are resin.

Is this what they call "smooth fine detail plastic" ?
smooth fine detail plastic should be resin
SLS is "flexible strong plastic"
I don't know all the differences between all those types of print materials.
This one was pretty smooth and hard. Nothing flexible.
