A returning modeler after 40 yrs. that primarily works with single and two engine aircraft from WWII. I am very new to some of the painting and weathering(dry brushing,washes,etc.)techniques. So far painting has been with canned spray and paint brush. Future was just found and has been used on my latest build a PGY-5 as a Blackcat that still has a way to go. Like I said, I'm a newbie that needs some constructive criticism, tips and suggestions
