I have some questions about real aircraft exhaust and how to simulate it. I'm mostly speaking of modern jet fighters. In my case, it's a Mig-19 which I've found is a different metal than the rest of the aircraft. I had orfinally thought it was aluminum.
First of all, are the "hot" sections of most jet exhaust usually made of titanium? Or there any made of stainless or any other metal?
If they are made of titanium, wouldn't it make sense to airbrush that color first (MM Metalizers in my case), then airbrush black or even maybe another dark metalizer to show burnt or discolored parts of the metal?
I seem to see alot of different ways in which it's done and since I have a large supply of the different metalizers, I thought I'd put them to use. I'm just not too sure how I want to do it.
Just trying to create some conversation on the subject. I haven't really ever seen it discussed.
