robw_uk Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Question..... Fuselage codes, roundels and the vertical markings on the tail.... Would they weather? They look awfully bright and am wondering if they would fade/wear/get damaged over time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 naff photos I am afraid... tried the panel lines using flory stuff.... hope to get the matt varnish on soon then do the exhaust staining and gun port dirt.... 12923216_10153689725642979_8997645454008982889_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 11181190_10153689725602979_5054666519526881590_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Question..... Fuselage codes, roundels and the vertical markings on the tail.... Would they weather? They look awfully bright and am wondering if they would fade/wear/get damaged over time..... Maybe not weather as such (in regards to fading) but getting dirty certainly. I used a green filter for the underside and a brown filter for the top on my 1/48 Spitfire build to tone down the markings which worked very well. You can use the same stuff for a filter and/or a wash as both are highly diluted enamel or oil paints. It is how you apply them which differs. A filter should cover the whole surface and works best on a flat (mat) surface as opposed to a wash which is meant to creep into panel-lines and edges which works best on a gloss surface. In other words, if you apply a filter to a gloss surface, it will end up as a wash and if you apply a wash to a flat surface it will end up as a filter! I hope this helps.

Cheers, Peter thanks Peter - I have a "green for camouflage" filter which I could use, will have a look (not sure about using it on the underside tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Green will work well with the sky underside. Can't have bright roundels underneath and toned down everywhere else. Just don't flood the whole surface with the filter. Apply little and then spread it with a flat brush. You can always remove it or tone it down with white spirit.
