hi gents

 

thank you for the interest taken in my humble contribution   :thumbsup:

I used Tamiya paint ref FX 14 for" jap army grey" very close to the Brit " duck egg green " for the under side . post shading , and black wash . some pastel powder around the engine cowl  ( like " Mig )

for the upper side , I did my own mix , the result is very close to the US olive drab , a little bit brownish/ greenish ( weird colour) though

 

I am not "confortable" with "chipping " effects ,( it's sometime difficult to get random effects "plausible" )  in this case , I simply used Maskoll applied with a sponge ......as you can see , nothing "sophisticated "

Hi Alain,

 

That is one good looking Frank! You nailed it.

 

As for your paint chipping technique,well, it worked! No need to be humble, it's as good as anything I've seen here on this site and believe me, these guys know what they are doing. I have avoided the Hairspay method as it doesn't seem to be really controllable but using a masking fluid means you can work out the chipped areas in advance of the top coat.

 

Congratulations on a job well done.

 

Regards,

 

Bruce Crosby
