BF 109F Trop

Hi

I'm currently doing a BF 109F in Tropical colours, when it comes to weathering, does anyone have a good way of giving the aircraft that bleached in the sun look?

I'm currently thinking of simply doing a light thin misted coat of white over the entire top side, am I in the right direction?

Thanks

Tim.

Tim you are on the right track, but on mine I just added some flesh colour to the base coat and with a mixture of 90/10 thinners and paint and then misted that in an irregular swirling pattern concentrating on the upper surfaces. IMHO white just makes the base coat look bleached not faded.

By the way are you doing the Hasegawa kit or the ICM and how about some pics?

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for that

The model I'm building is the other option in the Airfix kit

As for photo's, I'm not sure my work is up to the standard to post pics............
