Excellent work! I've been experimenting with similar techniques, altering things based on scale, with varying results. I have tried hairspray, salt, sponges and a pre-shaded 'mottling' effect simular to yours (among others) Showing wear & tear adds realism to your model but duplicating the weathered, 'mottled' finish of a real aircraft gives the most realistic results. Well done!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! What about when the painting should be white? How do we make the same effect? BR and thanks again.

Bernardo Hernández . Thanks! It's the same technic for white color but make your mottling with medium grey. step 1: base color white. step 2: mottling grey. step 3: spray with very diluated white.

Thanks ! With white base, the result is a little bit similar. It depends of quantity of black mottling.
For Navy aircraft, do you prime the bottom with gray as well (if the plane has a white bottom and gull grey top)? After the primer, paint the white, mottle with darker grey, then mist over again with white? Thanks!

PrincipalDrew's Scale Models: yes that's it. You're right!
Love this video! Question: how are you achieving such small spray lines from the airbrush when mottling? I can’t seem to get my brush to paint smaller lines. I tried different size needles but no effect

I use 0,15 or 0,2 mm needle with very diluated paint. About 60% - 70% of thinner. Low pressure.
I let the thin set glue wick into the joints. The glue stains the seams, but they disappear when I paint the model. Recently, I used some MRP lacquer based paint and the glue seams are visible. Is this because its lacquer based, or do some paints let the glue joints show through?...thanks-
you just skip to finished product at the end. don't understand how you achieved final look. do have another video showing how you actually weathered that f 4
Having climbed into a 1980 vintage F-15 .then a USAF F-4 when i was stationed at OSAN AB Korea.I could not believe how beat to hell the finish was.chipping everywhere.
Nice! I will be giving this a try with a F-8 Crusader soon. Have you tried the 'black basing' technique? If so, how does it compare to the gray basing? Thanks! Drew

Thank you ! For my opinion, black basing gives a more darker result. You must balance it with more white mottling.
I use primer on spray (Tamiya Or Mr Hobby or Vallejo). For paint, mix about 60% thinner and 40% paint. Sometimes more thinner for transparent effects. It depends of texture of paint too. Aspect of half creamed milk.
Show me a photo of an in use F4 Phantom that looks like that. Over weathered. This is an aircraft in the us armed forces, not some banana republic tank/afv
Unicorn Warhammer even though the aircraft are mechanically maintained and a wash job was required every month, both gull grey and the ghost grey paint jobs showed their age very fast.
Thank you for taking the time to show the built up, layer after layer. Great work.
Incredibly smooth, clear and detailed. CONGRATULATIONS.
For me is a pain to obtain this but i struggle until perfection.

Great video! I will try this technique on an A-4B Skyhawk. :-)
Extremely helpful and enjoyable videos you have! Thank you for sharing
Wow excellent video, very informative, especially as I’m colourblind
Super emonstration of coloring. Merci.
Great video. Thankyou
Very nice!
Fantastic!
why are you not making videos anymore. these are amazing. soooo good
great tutorial video,thanx
Really helpful thank you :)
That's so coincidentally weird. When I was about 16 I used the exactly same same jar with the same lid, to hold my thinner and/or turpentine.

Great video!
What kind of paint did you use?
I use acrylics. Tamiya or Gunze or Mr. Paint.
you just skip to finished product at the end. don't understand how you achieved final look. do have another video showing how you actually weathered that f 4
those are called decals lol. I'm pretty sure all he did was let the paint dry.
Очень познавательно!
May I ask what Airbrush model you are using?
I use Harder & Steinbeck airbrush. Model Evolution or Infinity.
with that high ammount of thinner in Step 4 , i guess we have to turn the pressure higher than normal paint mix..
Should you paint before or after finishing building the model?
Build maximum except some final parts. I glue canopy, fuel tank, landing gear and some details after painting the whole aircraft.
how many bars do you use for the airbrush
about 1,5.

I dont have airbrush, just paint brushes🤣😭😂👍🏼

Thank you ! For my opinion, black basing gives a more darker result. You must balance it with more white mottling.
Makes sense! May I ask what color of paint you use for your US Navy aircraft? Brand? Take care!!
Light gull grey from Gunze or MrPaint (mottling white). Love Mr Paint result. Extremely fine, ready to use , satin finish, dry quickly.
Cheers. Fred
well, both are not readily accessible to me so I'll have to stick to Tamiya and Vallejo Model Air paints. Thanks Fred!
Ok. Tamiya is great! I don't like Vallejo. Too stick and "glue". Add more Vallejo thinner if you use it.
primer / thinner what proportion ?
I use primer on spray (Tamiya Or Mr Hobby or Vallejo). For paint, mix about 60% thinner and 40% paint. Sometimes more thinner for transparent effects. It depends of texture of paint too. Aspect of half creamed milk.
Hellou , Do you don't use a mask when airbrush?
Sometimes for some camo I use Panzer Putty but generaly free hand.
What does mottling do?
A lot of shades in color on the whole surface and more realistic and "alive " model.
@ Thanks!
Hmmm... you got good pointers but how come you just jumped to the finished model just like that?!?!
Because he doesn't want to give away all his secretes.

@@DrewsModels don't think people realise how much the sea air and sun has on aircraft lol, great pics btw
a lot of work useless. light shadow can be done after the painting. just to joke with airbrush a little more
No offense but u kinda need to work on ur music choice wtf is this song XD
Frederick Rathe-Oeen use your volume switch.
You're not very cultured, are you Frederick. No offense
