Sorry to hear of your loss mate, but that paint work is immaculate I have always tried pre shading panels but can never get them looking the way you have, very nice work.

What is the Hair Spray for?? :confused:


Cheers John.

The Hair Spray is to help with the weathering John.


You spray it on, then when dry you put the top coat on in this case white. Then after that's dry you can use a brush with warm water, then gently rub at the paint. The water softens the hair spray and the top coat comes off giving it a worn weathered look ( well that's the plan )

Worth the wait, that looks great Ian. Look forward to seeing the effects of the white wearing off with the hair spray effect. Not something I have tried. You didn't skimp on the brand.

Looks good Ian. Can you scuff the leading edges a bit more? I think if there was going to be wear anywhere in particular it would be on leading edges. Otherwise looking marvellous.

Well I took your advice Joe and did a little more wear on the leading edges, and I think it looks better for it.
Thanks Joe

I like the winter camo scheme and the weather beaten look. Not sure but I think Luftwaffe aircraft were painted standard RLM colours and white daubed over the splinter camo. This camo scheme is fantastic, how's you achieved tbis was it with hairspray tech or maskol. Love the worn look on the leading edges.


Very impressed Ian.


Big 5 star from me

Many thanks for the comments Robert, I used the Hair Spray technique on this one ( for the first time ).

Nice work Ian. ... if you give up model making you could always try Hairdressing ;)
