Here's a comparison shot of my cockpit blue that I corrected!!! I'm pretty happy with the result as that was the major thing that was bothering me on my build!

Looking really great there! I have started on mine too after following your build up. Keep up the good inspirations!
Guys,
Can anyone suggest the best way to do those blast/carbon marks on the wings and fuselage? I don't have a way to print stencil out of material .. so how do you guys do it?
Certainly not with an airbrush I'd say .. with a brush? Not so sure how I'd achieve a good look without it looking painted ..
Awaiting any suggestions and tips!
Also, before begining the weathering .. should I shoot it with a coat of Future or Testor's Dull Coat? That was my plan but I'd love to hear about how good or bad of an idea that is!
Hey mate,
Get hold of some dark brown, gray and black chalk pastels or better yet, powdered pigments, grind them up with some fine grit sandpaper and then dip a fine tipped brush into the powder. Lightly dab the area you want your blast marks to be and build up the colour gradually with repeated dabs of the brush. Blow away any excess with a turkey baster or an airbrush on low pressure setting. Just don't use your breath - the moisture in it can cause a mottled effect.
Chalks can be sealed with dullcote once you are happy with the results.
I would seal with dullcote beforehand though, the benefit of this is that the chalks will easily wipe off if you have made a mistake or been too heavy handed.
Hope this helps.
Thats the exact technique I used and it worked great!TK4611 said:
Gentlmen, may I ask, are these Salzo V3 kits still available, or have I simply missed to boat?
