Great stuff Wayne, beautiful model mate, much appreciated! 
Maybe that is the kind of winter camouflage a newbie like me should kick off things with, not too advanced but still look damn good...
How did you do that particular camouflage? 8)
Nice find Ellis!

The white was sprayed first, then the green mottles...then I added the grey pastel to sort of simulate the underlying grey camo... showing through in patches...

Going back to these '87's. Maybe one way would be to paint them all white, to later work around with the airbrush and pastels, and as with the last one, brush as well...or?

A guy I ran into at my hobby shop told me he uses tempra paint (powdered water colour like kids use in school) applied by rush. If done over a gloss coat, it's supposedly easily flaked off with a brush or fine sandpaper. Anyone heard of this technique?

Interesting, never heard of this technique before.

I've used a similar technique in the past, both with a brush and an airbrush. If ordinary water colour is applied over a gloss, or semi-gloss finish, it tends to collect in thicker 'clumps' of colour, which is more or less as you'd want for a 'proper' finish, whilst the rest sort of 'migrates' into a thin, semi-translucent wash, giving the appearance of worn, temporaray paint. It takes a little bit of experimentation, but the results are quite good, and more or less like the real thing, as many winter schemes were water--based distemper-type paints. The original gloss finish is dulled down by the overall coverage, but I don't know how it woukl react to any form of clear coat. That said, the winter coat was applied to the model after the decals and sealing coat had been applied, so it didn't reaslly need another clear coat. Any furthe wear and tear can be achieved by just rubbing the areas required.
In theory, this should also work with very thin acrylic paints, especially if thinned with water.

Thanks Terry. Might give that a go on my 110.
