dsahling Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm currently building a Tamiya F-16C, and I'm going to use the Aires F-16C exhaust, I noticed that inside of the exhaust its pained white, put has "streaks" from the jet exhaust. Does anyone have any recommendations about how one goes about recreating these? I was thinking either lightly airbrushing it, using a weathering powder, or dry brushing, just curious how some others have gone about this? Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dndieje Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I used black and brown from a Tamiya "Weathering Master" set. Took some getting used to but now I love the stuff ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrysumner Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Although it only comes in 2 colors, black and a medium gray, fingerprint dusting powder makes a great weathering medium. When you brush it on it is tenacious and sticks better than any of the powders out there. Of course it could be a little tough to obtain. If you have a cop for a friend maybe you can get him/her to give you a little. I'm sure you could buy some online somewhere although I haven't looked. The black is great for the exhaust staining on the insides of modern jet exhaust petals.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Pastel chalks, they come in a rainbow of colors, I recommend the red browns and charcoal grey. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 MiG Pigments, or pastel chalks. easier to control than airbrushing. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
