Pushy , pushy aren't we there Bob ! All good things come to those who wait .................

I really don't use oils at all for dry brushing ................I use acrylics and pastel chalks . No fansy colours , what ever the base colour is I lighten it with either white or an off white . Depending on the look I'm going for I will do this a few times getting lighter as I go with the final one just white then blending it all in with a dusting of light grey pastels . This works for WW2 and up .......WW1 aircraft didn't weather all that much . They weren't in service for very long ( short life span ) But still check your ref's on the subject you are working on and go from there .......................................................

Hey Warren !

Sounds like a great idea you have there , but it will have to wait for now . In the future I will be more then happy to do a dual build with you . Still have to get the Windsock datafile which I'm having a very hard time tracking one down .
