Hello all,
I am seeking assistance regarding methods to paint the two tones to represent the laminated wood on the propellor for my Wingnuts Pfalz D.IIIa.
Thank you very much.

Greetings Matt:
I paint the prop per WNW instructions then using a sepia fine point pen, (available at Michaels art supplies) and then carefully draw the laminate on the prop. Be careful to experiment on a spare prop before doing it on the model you want, but I have had satisfactory results using this method.
Good Luck Matt

Here are some examples:

The Pens:
Hope this helps
