vacinotac Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello, This is an old one, but I took some pics to show how you could eventually proceed to reproduce natural metal finish under the camouflage layers. So, start with the NMF shades. Two coats are enough. One to control the surfaces and correct scratches, the other for the finish. Theen comes the green coat. Smooth, well diluated. Gunze acrylics are good. Let it dry few minuts, you finger can help you to feel that its not completly dry. Very important because the green color has to be removable with tape. Then you can start the removing job with some Tamiya tape. Work slowly but with quick movements. The green colors comes then and you can finish the job with sharp pencil and some Humbrol silver. That's it. Then washes and normal finishing process. Bye and sorry for the front windshield. dont know were it is !!! ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trekracer20 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Nice job! The technique feels a little overdone on this plane, although I'm far from knowledgeable about the degrees of wear these planes were subject to. The technique itself though is pretty awesome and looks like it has a lot of potential. I've never been satisfied with the way I've been able to show metal exposed from wear on my models, so I'll try this out next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tempestwulf Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Depends on the length of time and theatre the aircraft was based on. I've read that paint quality in Japan started to deminish later in the war due to shortages in quality products. I'd say a pacific island bird would be harshly baked more then an aircraft based in Burma, the latter is likley to be muddied then baked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eharrold44 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The weathering is little overdone for my taste, but I wouldn't say it's inaccurate. I think I've seen some pictures of late war Oscars that look very rough, similar to how your model is weathered. At any rate, your technique is superb! There are a lot of ways to create paint chips and paint wear on a bare metal surface, but the method you used seems ideal for larger surfaces. Great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
