GB-62 1/32 Spitfire Mk.IXc - Spitfires

Started abit of the weathering last night , probly start doing some chipping today , gota find a nice aluminium colour to do it with and then start with the oils.
Bloody knocked over my jar of general purpose thinners i use to clean my airbrush last night and it splashed onto my engine covers , so ill have to repaint them . F#%^%k

Weathering looks great and part from strip cleaning your cowlings with a spot of thinners (been there) what method do you use for weathering!

I'll start with abit of fading of the panels just by using a lighter colour of the paint i used , then ill lightly sand and blend it together so it dosen't look all the same , do some chipping by using the sponge technique and a brush , chipping fluid works well on armor models , then i'll either use enamel or oils to do the panel line and rivet detail , then use oils to do exhaust marks , oil and fuel leaks , do some light splash effects with highly diluted oils , use light mud oil to do dust on the tyres and walk ways , u can mix in some dust pigments with the oil paint and that works pretty good .
Check this guys youtube video's , he does awesome work , mostly armour but u can still use the techniques.

Done some chipping last night , i used the chipping rubber for the first time which i bought like 10 years ago , i used it on the walkway in a circular motion and then used some 3000 grit paper to finish it off , the small chipping i used the backside of my scalpel and lightly chipped the paint away to expose the silver underneath , might have overdone it a bit but once the oils go on it will blend them in abit .

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That is looking good.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed. Never heard of that product

Great effect.

Finished the chipping on top , little bit overboard i think but will blend in with the oils.

 

[SaparotRob]

That looks beautiful.

 

[Berny5664]

Very realistic

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I don't think you were over heavy at all.
