2 tone gray what do you use?

Polly S Ghost Grays

Testors Acrylics (pre acryls) Ghost Grays

I think the flash washed it out on the last two, but there is contrast between the colors

Looks like as Jack stated I was free handing the airbrushing and most have had to much overspary which really blurred the lines. On the engine cowls I decided to tape the demarcation using a little elevation in the tape as to not create a hard demarc and the results are what I expected. You can clearly see the two colors. Another lesson to add to my "what not to do list". Since beauty is the eye of the beholder I might not just leave it this way.

For what its worth other kits that I have built from Italeri have had better quality then this one, V-22 Osprey. I could a list of issue on another thread.

This what I like about this forum I usually get good responses in record time. Thanks ALL.

In what order are you laying them down?   If you aren't already, always do the lighter shade first, and place the darker one on top.

Another problem might be the demarcation between the two.  When airbrushing freehand, the overspray could be creating too much blending, while brushing it by hand leaves a hard edge that is much easier to detect.

Jack

When I have airbrushed the colors, there has been enough of difference in the tone of the two.

Looks like two shades that just a smidge:
