  1. Hello all! Here my latest build of Bf-110. I've used Eduard kit: Bf 110G-2 1/48 + photo etched parts Eduard 49462 Even though it's Eduard the kit has quite several flaws. Conenction points are quite bad, especially nose cover, wing roots and engine nacelles. Spent quite some time sanding/filling/rescribing... But overall I'm quite happy with finished product. Sorry for bad quality of pictures (some problems with lighting). Hope you like it. Comments / critiques welcomed! Regards, Jure
  2. Hi! On the last model, Vallejo Satin Varnish left spots on the surface (gray circles). Maybe it was a poor batch (old varnish), don't know. So I've been looking into different types and don't know which is the best. I especially look for Satin varnish (could be mixed Gloss+Matt), so it's not necessary to be Satin bottle. I've also been having not poor, but let's say unsatisfactory results with Glanzer (Future substitute in Europe). After applying decals there was a reaction and the surface became somewhat "dirty"... What do you use and are satisfied with it? What do you also think about var
  3. I'm building F4U-4 and using salt technique to weather it. Since this tecnique is done prior placing decals I need something to blend the decals after applying it on allready weathered plane. I was told Tamiya smoke might do the trick but now I see that Vallejo also has a transparent model color VA 70939 I asking what would be more suitable for my purpose. Thanks!
  4. Great. Just a quick response regarding decals? At which stage did you apply them?
  5. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Could you explain it a little better how did you achive this look? I see that you placed decals before salt technique. How did you manage to just slightly cover them, and not completly with top coat?
  6. Yes, but hairspray technique is used for chipping paint off, and I'm looking for sun and ocean weathering style. Or it can be used in this way that I don't know?
  7. I'm experimenting on an unused parts from previous models and not getting desired effect. I sprayed destilled water and added grinded salt (grinded over model). When it dried, I sprayed thin layer of second coat. I'm looking for salt residues (circle of salt residue), so I will try spraying salt water and letting it dry, and then next coat of paint...
  8. Is this what you meant with ColorX? Have you got any pictures or link on what this effect does?
  9. Thanks for the tips! The second and third coat (panel lines) you are explaining, are over crystals of salt?
  10. Yes, I know it could represent a problem. So any input on someone who has done this kind of procedure with acrylics (water based) would be much appreciated. I'm thinking if I let the second coat cure enought time (to be completely dry), water wouldn't damage paint? Or is this just an empty wish?
  11. Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated! Will post pics after the model is done.
  12. Thanks for the quick reply! I'm doing FS.15042 so that means, it's wiser to lighten it after. What about the consistency of second coat? Is it the same as first coat or thinned? How do you weather the decals to match soft weather look? Do not want to chip them out, just slightly blur.
  13. I've just come to realise that I posted in Archived section, so I'm reposting in active forum. I've been also intrigued to use this technique on F4U-4 - looking for soft weathered look - not chipping paint. I've been using Vallejo acrylics so hopefully will be ok. I've got a couple of questions and really hope to be answered. First, steps of technique (just write OK if it's OK:)) 1.) Primer 2.) All blue navy scheme 3.) Future 4.) Panel line wash 5.) Future 6.) Water mist 7.) Hard grinded kitchen salt 8.) Let it dry and than another coat of blue navy scheme 9.) Rinse under warm water

So here comes the questions:
  15. Thanks for link! Decided to go with grey-grey camouflage pattern (Same as Pe-2), for which I would need AMT-11 and AMT-12. Akan colours would be the best, but since they are hard to get, I decided to go with Vallejo. Found out that MA56 represents AMT-12 quite qood, and with the drop of white to MA56 I should get AMT-11. I know that it won't be perfect match, but good enough for me. Thanks for the help!
