Aircraft washes

You should protect your basecoat with an acrylic clear.Future Floor Polish works great or any model related acrylic clear.Then you can wash wit oils or ensamels without harming anything.

I personally like to use this stuff,very easty to use,nice results,almost foolproof

Spray Future or a clear acrylic, and then apply oil washes.

Thanks guys, seems simple enough!

Ty TY Ty for this tip. You guys just saved me $ 20 bucks as I was just about to go to the LHS to buy some more Testors gloss laquer but i read this first.  i have a whole bottle of Future and now I can use it for more than dipping canopies.

Ah , Yes , BUT !

When you do the weathering don't forget there are streaks on the plane from sitting on the ground that run vertically too .
