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

                        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.

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

                        Spray Future or a clear acrylic, and then apply oil 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

                        Question for you guys, if the paint on your model is enamel, what's the best method for applying a wash?
