Hi, guys. For my next project, I'm looking to turn Trumpeter's TBF-1C Avenger kit into a rough approximation of this: Full size photo here. Not withstanding the fact that this may actually be a TBF-1 and not a -1C (though I think I see the C's leading edge gun port), the Trumpeter kit will get me close enough for artistic license. Besides, I know 1Cs served at Henderson at some point. Anyway, I love this pic. The earlier insignias, the stained prop, the two-tone prop tips, the bald tires, the leading edges of the landing gear covered in god-knows-what... and... the oil stains on the cowl. That greasy, grimy, hot oil that's seeped into the panel lines and crept, through capillary action, into the dull matte paint. I've tried a couple times to replicate that look with oil paints and I've fell short of the desired effect. How would you approach that look?

Greeting to all the artisitic types out there, And I'm not one of them!! Below are to pics of a Heinkel he 111 . One a period B&W photo and the other a model featured in one of AK magazines tutorials, Now the wartime photo clearle shows the upper surface of the heinkel looking quite dirty, but the AK magazine version looks a little overdone IMHO. I'm wanting to acheive something in between. I'm thinking oils- for the ability to manipulate translucency of the effect but would be interested to knnow how you guys might go about it. Also , if anyone has a colour wartime photo of a Heinkel I would be massiviely grateful, Cheers Tim
