What is the most easy way to create that silver under green chipped paint technique used for Japanease fighters?, Ive searched the site with no luck. Thanks in Advance

Check out my Shiden build a couple topics down. In the comments, I explain how I do my chipped paint. Your mileage may vary.

Hi Johnny,

I had pretty good success with using sea salt. There are a few threads about this technique here:http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net//features/1307 It really worked pretty well since it is actually chipping the paint.

Hi Johnny!

I use the "Maskol technique"...







Basically, you first spray the model in silver (base coat) then add small dots of maskol where you want to have your paint chipping. I use an old brush for that. Then you paint the camouflage and finally rub of the maskol with the finger tip or a Q -Tip. Below are two more examples of models for which I used a similar method...





I think this method could also be effective for Japanese planes.

Jean-Luc,

What is that German plane? It looks like a 109, but I have never seen it before.

BTW, great looking Corsair!

That also looks like it work work well with my Black Cat catalina.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi Derek!

It's a Me 309. It was supposed to be Messerschmitt's own replacement for the Bf 109. However it never happened. A feature about it can be seen here: the fall of a prototype.
