I have always wanted to have a crack at doing a WWI aircraft, put off by rigging and aligning wings is a bit daunting for me. So I started with a simpler design aircraft.
The wood finishes in this were done with a base coat of Tamiya Buff, then I used Vallejo burnt umber with a brush to give the wood grain look, after that I sprayed Tamiya clear orange over it.
The black is Tamiya nato black, yellow is Vallejo gold yellow with a couple of drops of white in it. The white is Vallejo white with Vallejo aged white added to give it an off white look, the green is Tamiya olive green. The small amount of rigging on it is EZ line.
I used some AK aircraft engine oil wash on the engine, I used Flory dark dirt wash all over, but instead of wiping it back with paper towel which I normally use, I used a flat brush, wet with water and kept brushing along, drying the brush off when to damp. I also brushed a bit of dark dirt pigment around the wheels and underside.
