lining the plane panels before / after airbrushing

Swanny's site is working now. Also see MusicCity's site. Here is a link for panel washes http://www.craigcentral.com/models/wash.asp

Another website to bookmark, it can be your friend too!

i presume you do the line weathering after you finish the last coast of paint. otherwise you spray over the lines. ?!

whats that "Future" stuff for ?

The future is to lay down a gloss coat before you put the decals on. It also helps the wash to flow better and makes it easier to take off than on a flat coat.

Tanky hit the nail on the head... it can become your best modeling friend!!!

It is nothing more than Future acrylic floor polish from the supermarket. It's about $4 a bottle and one lasts forever. Seals and protects paint, a must for panel lines and other weathering... There's an article about it on swannys webpage as well.
