Nicely done!

Super paint job. How did you do it? Mine just came in the mail, and I really like the tones of your streaky Fokker finish. Once again, great job.

Hi Mike

I can only echo what the others have said in praise of the subtle streaked camouflage! I think you should write a little "How to..." to let us in on the secret.

All the best

Many thanks for the kudos. My technique for producing the streaky finish is as follows:

1. tamyia paints throughout
2. iwata air brush on low pressure setting
3. lots of thinner

I started by undercoating with a light blue tamyia paint - lightened further with some flat white. I then used a dark green thinned about 50/50 with a low pressure setting, making repeated quick passes with the airbrush held very close the the surface. The thin mixture allowed the streaks to be very subtle at first and then I could build them up when I got them where the looked right. I had tried brush painting them but with Tamyia's paints drying so quickly the results were not a nice. The good thing about the air brush is that it allows a slow build up of paint. I also noticed that the photos of the real air craft seemed to have a smudged effect on the streaks so some overspray seemed to simulate this as well.
I have not been able to master this technique in smaller scales yet. Still trying though.
Thanks for the compliments. I quess I will have to upload some more.

Mine arrived in the mail. I will try your technique. You really did good on this one.

Very nice! Good job on the paint. Mine is still on the build shelf. Thanks for posting!

Love the streaking. The whole build is great.
