Howdy folks,

I've got a Stuka coming up and I'm not sure how to give the cockpit a dirty appearance. When I built my P-47, I gave the cockpit a nice, dark wash which worked pretty well, but I'm not sure if the same effect could be achieved on the grey color of the Stuka cockpit. Any suggestions?

Pat, rather than dirty it up with a wash, try drybrushing it with lighter shades of gray. Some ground pastels could be used over this to convey a dirty look. Just a thought. "Q"
