Aigore Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Janne, Nice effort on the spinner. the paint chipping is just right. With all the decals on, as well as the exhausts added, it's really looking the part. Are you going to be doing a little exhaust staining? Joel Thanx Joel :D Oh yes there will be all kinds of staining, havent started weathering yet! First a panel wash, then I'll do the weather streaks, then the oil and soot and finally some dusting.

Aigore Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 A few minututes with my P-40... Panel wash.. I use a artis oil wash mixture with black and burnt umber, I slosh it freely all over the kit. Let it dry to the touch and then I wipe it off with an old T-shirt cloth. Tomorrow I´ll do dirt and rain streaks. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Dirt streaks... I begun with squeesing out some oil paint on a plastic sheet... Then I happily dotted all the different colors randomly over the wings...had my cloth ready And started wiping the oils off in the wind direction. The wings done,this is a ratrher subtle weathering really and it´s better to under do that over do, you ca always add. Next it was time for the fuselage to recieve the same treatment. But here I wiped downwards in the rain direction. The belly just recieved occasional streaks Upper side done. There, next there will be make up and pigments! :D Cheers!

Adam1818 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Very nice! What colors did u use for the oil paints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Very nice! What colors did u use for the oil paints? Thanx Adam :D The brand or the actual paints? I use Windsor and Newton artis oils and I used black, white, raw umber, burnt umber and burnt sienna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 A little addition... Went over it with Mig pastelles making it dusty. After some more pastelles and Tamyia make up I put on a flat coat and now it´s pretty much ready for final assemlbly. Gonna put on landing bay doors, sights and the little bits between the cooling shutters, paint lights and add the antenna wires. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Janne, Where I'm always screwing up is with the Dot method. I usually end up either washing too much of the oils off, nor not enough. After I apply the Dots, I've been using a wide brush that was dampened with the same medium as the wash, and only brushing in one direction, not back and forth, or up and down.

Joel I use a dry cotton cloth, only for the white emblems did I use a damp cotton swab to bring back the white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Janne, Will try that on the Mitchell, but I want to say on the conservative side as these aircraft were well taken care of. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nerdling Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 How did I miss this. Looks like you did an amazing job on the Trumpeter kit. To bad the Bronco kit sounds like a virtual copy of the Trumpeter bird. Just going to have to wait until the Airfix kit comes out http://www.airfix.com/us-en/curtiss-p-40b-1-48.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
