  1. I Now need some decals , if anyone has spares that would be awesome
  2. Well the good news is the brown on black wash worked a treat , bad news is decals had to come off the wings ans the silvering was ridicuous. Note to self decal set dosent work on top of varnish........DOH
  3. maxim , I think those decals might need to come off . My first thought is that the decal soft has failed to bond the decals to the varnished surface. Do you think a grey / brown wash might sort it out
  4. Thanks Maxim , some fantastic advise there. I will be making a trip to hobbycraft tomorrow and I will definately be having a go. For this one I used pro moddelers flat black and I had no idea Black could be weathered. Fantastic tips . Top Man!! . Please let me knpw what you think of my progress.
  5. Hi maxim I literally know nothing about weathering , my only point of reference is what I can see online but there seems to be so many different techniques it gets a bit confusing For this go at it I am putting on a wash then a coat of varnish then more wash in an attempt to try to build up some depth, I will apply another coat of wash after applying decals. The oil dot method sounds interesting but I've no idea how to do it. And as for the black ,what would you recommend
  6. Very cool , the finish looks good but you might want to have a go at using some of the alclad metal paints
  7. I always struggle with raf camo, I only use tarmiya paints and they don't seem to be a good match. What do you use?
  8. The brown is 3 parts XF79 and 1 part XF1 thinned with 2 parts tamiya thinners
  9. This will be my first try at weathering , would like to try some pigments . can ayone recomed a product and method Cheer
  10. Well done mate you managed to make this dog of a kit look very nice.
  11. Very nice , shame airfix can't make a kit in this scale with the same quality and price. I don't want to slag them off but whenever they do something in this scale the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Their dogfight doubles have been very disapointing and its a shame because its a good idea
  12. Cheers stuck, will give it a go. Was the humbrol enamel ? ,never thought about using enamels and acrylics as I can never seem to thin it properly for the airbrush. For some reason I think the humbrols get closer to the proper colours than the Tamiya. My choice for the WW2 camo is XF 79 & 81 but it never seems to look quite right.
  13. I,m in the middle of this kit, can you let me know what type of yellow you used The tamia struggle is to harsh but yors looks spot on
