Hawkeye: Great article. Will have to give it a try.
I tried a black/raw umber mix on my Banshee and it just didn't show up as it does on the lighter paint schemes. Maybe more of the brown will show up.
Keep the great tips coming.

HawkeyeHobbies - fellas, I owe you a drink. I was reluctantly facing post shading the camo on my Fw190 and followed the link to your site and read the piece on sanding back the top colour to give a worn look. Worked an absolute treat and will be a much used technique on future builds.
So simple yet so effective
Thanks very much - Merry Christmas!

STFD627 - Pro Modeller washes are often championed in these parts, and with good cause. Their water-based composition and the range of colours makes them very flexible and very forgiving. There are a couple of decent videos on YouTube as well showcasing some of the techniques.
Good luck!
STFD637 Even for Deep or Dark sea blue? I will give it a try! I have used it on some of the greys and green hue paint jobs. Thanks, Travis

yes for the lines,dirt and grime are dirt and grime.
Burnt & raw umber are always good choices but.....I would suggest using different colors on different panels to add some variation. Use a darker wash in the places where you would see a more intence effect. I would suggest starting with the darkest blue wash you can get, followed by dirty umber washes where it would make sence for this type of dirty effect to occur.
burnt umber is great for panel lines
Looking for some tips on the best colors for picking out panle lines on WWII Navy ac.....(deep sea blue). I have a few in the stash and just finished a Banshee in the color and ran into this issue. Would love to here some ideas!
