S5 modeller Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's really nice Clive. Nice weathering. How did produce the finish? Was it chipping/masking fluid, or some other way? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAR67 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Hi there thanks for your interest, now to answer your question Matt. The weathering was done using Humbrol maskol dabbed on with a sponge over a silver surface on the model, it was then sprayed with its camo green over the top and left to dry. Once dry the maskol was removed leaving the desired affect you can see on the fuselage, the floats however were one the same but I also used rub n buff silver and pewter. To get the desired affect using the rub n buff I used a cotton ear bud and a paint brush to put the stuff on in the desired place, once this was dry I then used another cotton bud to buff up the polished areas of the floats where desired. The red was done with a paint brush using XF-7 and X-7 this created the look of the top coat of paint still noticeable and glossy but the under paint being the flat XF-7 giving the worn affect and fading. Hope this has answered your question clearly if you have any other questions please ask and I'll do my best to explain, here is a few pics of her as today I didn't get much done as the canopies needed the model to be set up and dry on. I did get some decals on her and I did a couple of touch up paint jobs on her to just to break up the camo look. She had to sit like this for most of today whilst the canopy set. That's all for now enjoy Clive Edited January 20, 2016 by SHAR67 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
