Rust & Chipping Effects
Vallejo

This set should find favour with the AFV fraternity, especially if you haven't tried the "hairspray" technique, or fancy portraying a burned out vehicle. It arrives in a compact box with internal plastic tray containing five 17ml Model Air dropper bottles, a surface primer, chipping medium and matt varnish. Also included is a booklet describing the techniques in detail over ten steps with a photograph illustrating each one. The colours included are as follows:

70.605 Red Brown Surface Primer, 71.042 Camouflage Black Brown, 71.080 Rust, 71.129 Light Rust, 71.130 Orange Rust, 71.033 Yellow Ochre, 73.214 Chipping Medium, 70.520 Matt Varnish.

Conclusion
A useful set for AFV Modellers and anyone wishing to expand their techniques or have a go at a burned out vehicle or knocked out tank. The booklet guides you through the process succinctly with the exception of how to apply the chipping medium. As there is no airbrush in the photo however, I think it's safe to assume you brush it on.

Highly recommended.

Hum, may treat myself to some of this for a couple of builds I have planned for next year!
