I was at my local hobby shop and saw a Tamiya weathering kit that I had never noticed before. I think it is a new product. Has anyone used it and can recommend yay or nay.
The Tamiya weathering kits are awesome.Great results with little difficulty.Apply them dry or wet,depending on the look you are going for.
Here are a few kits I finished using the Tamiya powders.
Wow great pics. Thanks. I'll give them a try.
They have been around for a couple of years. I would really recomend you give them a go.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
There are at least 4 different kits available.Definately give 'em a try.If ya got any questions,give me a holla.I'd be happy to help.
BTW,pic #4 is BS!
That's just a rusty ol' 360 that runs way better than it looks.
I have all the kits and like using them. One of the kits seem like they are dired out and I have never been able to use them. I guess they are old but I like them anyway. Give them a try...for me it is easier to do than drybrushing.

Have you tried adding water to that kit Herc?
I always add a bit of water when useing mine, i just can't seem to get anything when its dry.
TD4438 Didn't you use this on a Fine Molds TIE for the star wars GB
Sure did Bish.For that I used a stiff brush to apply the gunmetal powder dry.It took a bit of doing,but the effect was worth it.
No I have tried adding water. I suppose I will give that a try. The silver one is the one that seems to give me the most trouble with being dry. Thanks for the tip.

I thought so, it was you that got me onto it and i used it on a TIE myself. I have used it a few times since and love it.
The foam tip on the brush that is supplied with each kit is great for scorch marks or exhaust residue on aircraft.
It's also great for highliting raised surfaces.I used it to bring out the detail on this dashboard.
It's subtle,but all of the weathering in the above pic was done with the Tamiya powders.
Sounds good guys...just need to get to the store and get some. I want to try and use this on my Cobra Helicopter Im working on.
Does anyone have a good idea of a way to add weathering to the canapy glass area? There are a few clouds and blemishes I want to hide.
You should post that question in a separate thread.I'm sure somebody around here can help you.
You can try buff out the blemishes and clouds first. Sand with a fine grade sanding stick, then go extra fine, then use one of those buffing sticks they sell for nail care. By the time you are done, it should be smooth, but not perfectly clear. Then dip in Pledge future and the thing will be clearer than new.
TD, good one with that picture. Got me going for a while.

Waikong...thanks, I'll give that a try! Live and learn, I started using superglue and it clouded the canopy.
TD4438......I finnally got to the store and baught 2 of the kits. They seem easy enough, but had the same problem that another post mentioned. I can't seem to get any of the powder to stick to the foam and even more trouble with the brush side. You mentioned water will work, or do I just need to rub off the hard surface leyer on each color?
I assume that the power sticks and dries like paint?
