I am building another Japanese 1:48 offering from Tamiya. I frankly do not know the model name. It seems to have been a converted sea plane to land. Anyway, thats not what is important. I am painting it the green with light grey belly. I just read a technique in the new FSM for paint chips.
It says, put on the base. In my case, I sprayed 2 nice coats of silver. It says to then apply 2 coats of future and let it cure for 2 days, nice and solid. Then paint your top coat, my my case green, wait 1 hr and then using masking tape, just touch the surface and I imagine, the top coat will probably chip off nicely. My questions are:
1) How do you think the top coats will apply over a future finish?
2) When I am done, before I do additional weathering of pamel; lines and so forth, do I apply another coat of future on top? That would be paint, future, paint and then future again. Does that make sense? Anybody try this yet?
I want that jungle weathered look, that silver showing through the splotchy Japanese jungle green.
