Any good weathering effects for this Corgi 1/72 (B17) ??????

[MaxPower]

Hey guys, I was wondering if where can I purchase something for the models.
Like the threadtitle says, some weathering effects to make the model look better.

Wingspan is 19 inches in length .

I suppose you could chip off some paint, or re-paint parts of it yourself.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking more about thin layers of dried "oil" on the wings, or "smoked" areas on it. You know, so it would look dirty, and so on !!!

try some oil pastels.
the way I weather my models is I leave them in a 'cage' outside and periodically spray them with my own mixture of various liquids and then about 2 months later I use some pastels and a little dirty steel colored pen, but my methods dont work on die-cast. (note: I only do this to WW1 and WW2 models)

Well my models are aint die-cast either, more like you see above in the previous post. It's all plastic, so basically it is a perfect model to do this on.
As it would stick better to it than diecast , right ?


Edit: Thanks btw for posting your method. !

For an oily appearance, I get black paint and thin it down, Waster, meths, Turps etc depending on the type of paint. Then apply it over the model. Put more concentrated amounts were i want more oily appearance.

If you do an oil wash you may want to clear coat the model first.

Definatley chips in the paint on all leading edges, oil smears going from the exhaust manifolds/back, dirty/muddy wheels/underside, perhaps some patches for battle damage...

Yes.... These are the details Im looking for !

If you see the smokes, that has sticked to the wings.. ! Those are the ones.. !

[dneedham]

I'd reccomend water color brown for that, since the watercolor will make it a lighter color...
