Future is always an easy way to seal things off. If you need to get serious move up to an isolator like U-pol Barcoat

I've encountered that on more than one occasion on different kits. That coating can be difficult to remove.
I've found That Tamiyas' ' plastic friendly ' Lacquer thinner #87077 to be the most effective against it.
I just saw that they had bought that P/E set to market. It should build up in to a nice model.
Hobby Design are still marketing a lot of new product but I can't find their web site any more and their Facebook page hasn't been updated in 6 months.
