Engine Oil Stains & Streaks

[fishplanebeer]

I'm building a diorama of a crashed Bf109E during the BoB and looking for some tips and ideas about the best way to depict the engine oil leaks and streaks around the  nose and belly of the aircraft.

 

I can use either enamel or acrylic varnish for the final matt coat so it doesn't matter if a method entails using enamel based or water based washes or pigments, as long as it produces something that will look OK in 72nd scale.

 

Regards

Colin.

Hi Colin. I've just given you a short tip for this in your other thread https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235100351-realistic-soil-in-72nd-scale/&do=findComment&comment=4213993 

Make sure that you don't matte it down though; you'd lose the effect.
