FW 190 A8 , weathering again

[Jan Goormans]

hi guys,

 

The FW-190 in this topic was ready, that was at least my idea when I took it to my modeling club last Friday night.
But after some good discussions I was clear that more could be done, so this is what I am doing to take the weathering a step further.
So this untypical topic will be about the extra weathering.

 

If any suggestions, please fire away

 

I will when time seal it all with a varnish.

thanks
Jan

Nice- what are you using to weather it? What type of paint did you use for the camo?

[Jan Goormans]

hi Thunda

 

I use Tamiya and Gunze acrylics for the camo (fine layers in many colors, final layer in the correct color).

 

For the weathering I am using the techniques from Villalba (his DVD's are a must) and Mario Eens.

Materials quite simple :

- a bottle with a mix of Humbrol black and brown with Tamiya X-20 thinner (you can easily remove the surplus with X-20)

- Oil paints buff and faded grey (you can easily remove the surplus with X-20)

- Tamiya weathering sets A and F mostly

- brushes, the one with the open hairs is important for the Villalba technique to make the scatches

 

hopes this helps

and yes, it's not done in one go, many many times

Nice looking Eismeer 190! Stationed close to where my wife is from, IIRC.
