Cookenbacher Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I love the panel variation Dennis, wonderful stuff. 4 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Its hard to see sometimes in my work area, i have to use angled light to see the paint. So in some areas I may have overdone the paint just because I couldn't see it hitting the surface. Also, many paints really change color as they dry, so you don't really know what you've got until a few hours later sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Good Morning everyone... I was able to get the decals on this morning. I opted to make it look as if its in the process if updating the stars & bars so there is a bit of a mix on here. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis Im not exactly sure where the black paint splotches on the port cowling came from. But that will need to be redone.

Cookenbacher Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Fantastic Dennis, I love the oil/fuel staining, did you have a fan going or something to make the realistic streaks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its an old trick Ive been using for 25 years or so. I used to use watered down thinner, nowadays I place a drop of black or dark brown ink on wherever i want the streak to start. I then dip a brush into isopropyl alcohol and pull it through the ink in the directions it would blow or flow. Get it where you want and use kitchen towel or 🧻 to wipe of the excess. You can build up the streaking until your are happy. If you over do it take paper and a lot of alcohol to wipe it off. Of course all of this is over a gloss coat which protects the paint. The mud streaking is pastel chalks and water to make a flurry spread on with water. Edited August 15, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple tan pastel chalk sanded down in to a fine powder, then I use a brush and water. It creates a slurry as i brush it on to the model. I brushed it into the spray pattern I've seen in photo’s. I imagine its something similar to flory washes. If i wipe it off like I did on the lower tailplanes it leaves a light stain. 8 hours ago, Hewy said: Ah, i see pastels,missed that 👍,very effective Sorry should have looked a bit further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
