huey_crew_chief Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I like the exhaust stains Ray. How did you do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Those are great Ray and I love the red areas as it is different than what you would normally see.. Did you post these pictures somewhere else? I seem to recall seeing them before and I I think I responded. Also, those pink markings on that Blackhawk are cool. When will you have the opportunity to put pink on an aircraft other than a Spitfire? Looks like you don't even need to worry too much about decals as the numbers look hand painted.

I have a set that has lasted as long as i've been in the hobby and will probably be around when I'm gone. I's a set of earth tones and black and grays. I just scrape some off with an old hobby knife blade into a cup and apply dry with an old brush. I try to mix back plus several dark grays to give it a realistic look. I also learned not to spray clear on it afterwards as it really dulls it back. Yes, it can come off on your hands if you aren't careful, but it looks much more realistic. Also, it goes down well on matte finishes, not so much on gloss. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
