Has anyone tried to use a light panel line wash on a darker surface - essentially a negative effect? - and done so convincingly?
I've seen it done e.g. on the cowling of a Zero, but on an entire plane such as a dark clue Corsair?
I'm intersted in hearing about results, see pics etc. I've just started a Corsair and want to prepare before I got to that step.
Thanks in advance...
I did a light wash on the sea blue parts of my corsair, but it's not super consistant. I was going for a lot of variation generally, so it's different in different areas.

I did notice it on your Corsair, and it's done the right way by using it more to simulate sand and dust - still in awe of the amount of details you put into that kit.
I may end up no using a wash on mine at all on the surface areas since they're too dark, and a little glossy too. I'm not to the paint steps yet, so just planning ahead.
I just did a medium brown wash on the top of a Raiden in JN green and it turned out okay. Not real visible at a distance but does a good job of looking like grime against the green, at least to me and that's all that matters. I did the underside with a dark grey wash since it was painted JN grey and those really stand out, just a little too much for my liking though so I'll try going a little lighter on the next one. Good Luck on your wash.
Yep...Flory grey on my P-61 and I liked the effect. Here's the thread.

Yeah, I used powdered white chalk to make a wash on a gloss sea blue Hellcat.

Great! Do you have any images of the results?
