Hi,
I would like to use acrylic inks to weather airplanes. I am not talking about using them as a wash in panel lines, but I would like to airbrush them in very fine coats to model smoke stains etc.
I bought a few bottles of Dr Martin Spectralite ink, which
apparently gets good grades from airbrush artists.
After some experimentations, I found that they should not
be thinned with alcohol, only with water. If thinned with alcohol,
they give a very chalky finish (probably they dry too fast on the model). Thinned with water the finish is better, but I am still not so happy.
Does anybody has some experience with this technique?
many thanks in advance for any help,
Christian.
