Good evening

model special hobby released a few years ago and picked up today by... revell!Even if the installation is not "easy", it has the merit to exist on this scale, so let us enjoy!
I represented the Lt Donald Mc Gee of the 36Th FG unit in Port Moresby in June 1942... heavenly place, except for the camos with salinity, the white sand and the Sun, and which thus found themselves with a camouflage any referencing in fede

That is the most stunningly-accurate weathered finish I have ever seen! Just amazing.

Hello TCinLa

Thank you for having identified my intentions because no Federal standard reference in direct application, but try to transcribe the vision of photos of eras, even if the kodak color is not an absolute rule 70 years later!

Paul, I am a huge fan of your work, being a fellow brush painter. Please, please share how you do your painting with us. Step by Step. It is utterly amazing work. I've only ever found a couple of your WIP threads in French, but if you could provide us with some tips in English at all, I would be incredibly gratefull.

Hello andyramone

Happily, although I am expressed a large number of times on Fightersforum.actif...
My method is as follows: painting humbrol and synthetic brush, brush flat No. 4 a 8 depending on the size of the kits.
first and second layer in the traditional way by pulling on the paint without attempting a cover model, the main one being of not (or the least possible!) trace of thickness of paint, possibly sanding paper 12 or 1500 to remove those ci...
Then, depending on the coverage of the used colour I spend 1 or 2 following way daybrush, always in order to not let layers thick. For what is the patina I always proceed in daybrush knowing that an altered aircraft paint is not marble but is tainted and that for example a drab Obeid will take shades pulling hard brown more or less dark. Some other free hues will however be clarify in oxidizing...Do not forget that a plane is a machine that lives in its own way in oozing and suffers the effects of rain and Sun without forgetting the successive passages of the teams and maintains. My method is particularly have in mind the colours to reproduce before, which can be done by many observer... well modestly in for me this is a little more than 50 years that I practice this method of the brush so I'm initially not more gifted than others, but simply a has some experience of trial and error to get minimal results :!!!
Kind regards
Paul
forgiveness for the translation, but I use the translation on the net
