Have any of you guys used Tamiya Smoke to post shade? This is a clear type gloss paint. I recently saw one of Italeri's 1/35th MTB's post shaded with this (the modeler didn't elaborate on his method) and it looked pretty great and added a lot of realism.
What thinning ratio should be used to get a subtle effect without going overboard? No pun intented.
I would guess with this technique that less is more.
Comments appreciated?
Very thin paint. Put the thinner in ur paint cup first, then add just a drop of Tamiya smoke. Practice on a post it note first. You want it so it's almost invisible until the third or fourth pass. Get in close and lower the psi to 8-12.
Thanks, Nathan
Nathan is spot on. I use Tamiya smoke for lots of things. Great product.

I use it all the time. This is an example on my P-47.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
I used Gunze Smoke for post shading on a few builds back in the 90s. I was very happy with the results, but cant really say what thinning ratios that I used or other such details, being so long ago.
All I can suggest is practice on an old build (save an old beast for just such purposes- I had a test bird) before you try it on a new high value project. Seeing how I recall doing the post shading over decals, you dont want to bone up at that point and have to regroup from that point...
