Phil Cooke Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Dirk, Ive found the old thread regarding the weathering masterclass by a chap named Stan Caussell, who built one of the earlier gen MIBO A-10s and finished it really well - take a look - it really starts to describe the methods/materials from post 306. It uses oils and paints to pick up all the surface detail which I know will work well on your Fouga, bringing out all those details you have lovingly placed into the moulds. But you'll have to be a brave man to rub oil and grime all over that nice camo you've just applied... the prize is massive, but you need to be brave! https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-jets-120/6965817-4th-gen-10-mibo-jets-13.html 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I followed the same method on my big 262. Just make sure there's a sealing coat of varnish down before you get into the oils, as at least you can get rid of mistakes or make changes without affecting the paintwork underneath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
