Well Rob no doubt it looks different, is it better? I guess that’s a choice we all have to make. For me, I am developing a dealership showroom where all the planes are bright and shiny just as they came off the production line! Bob England
Yes I agree, I think every model maker can choose what he wants to do with model, after paint job leave it like it is or give it some extra details with wash or other methods :)
It certainly makes a big difference. I have this Vallejo wash but I was afraid to use it as I think it's an acrylic based wash and I was unsure how easy it would be to remove. Your videos shows it to be very simple which is good to know. I also use the Flory Model wash, which I like a lot, or oil paints and mineral spirits which also works well. Nice straightforward video though. Thanks..
Thank you for your comment. I am happy that I can help someone with my video. But overall I do these video because I just like scale modeling and making videos :)
I use acrylic paint. I put like 3 coats. ( painted with brush) , yes I prefer cotton swab, because you can use it like just to touch it and it will collect excess wash. :)
Easy to do with acrylic paint, not so much with enamel. Just use a fine point brush, take a few deep breaths, and go for it. Any overpainted mistakes you can easily scrape off with a toothpick, feeling for the raised frame details, scraping up to them, which will leave paint only where you want it. You can be as sloppy as you like with the paint, truth be told, as acrylic paint scrapes off really easily, before it's fully cured, without scratching the plastic. I find this technique much easier than masking, as getting the masks straight, can be even harder than painting the approximately straight, fine lines that are all this technique requires. @@scalemodelsbyrob1679
Cool model. 👍Have a great day.

Nice build, good vid.
All we have to do now is paint models in 'scale colour'.
I hear another fight starting on Brit Modeller...
We?are waiting the P-40 !
In what scale? :)
Brand? :D

Very excellent work there.
Keep up the work.
thanks Harikejn!
@@scalemodelsbyrob1679 You're welcome.
Clear coat first? What type of paint on the model? That wash you used, was it enamel based, oil or water based?
Clear coat after. Pain was water base colors and wash was also water based. :)
Better still, piant the canopy 😊
Thank you for sharing. Is the Wash applied over a Gloss Coat? or directly on the painted model (I assume Acrylic Paint)?
directly on painted and gloss after wash
Did you use acrylic or enamel paint on your model? Just dry cotton swab to remove it?

Thanks for the info! @@scalemodelsbyrob1679
Why didn’t you paint the canopy? The rest looks nice though. Good video
Sometimes its pain in the as* to paint it, If I don't have mask for the canopy sometimes I don't paint it. But try to do. :)

I think the key takeaway here is not to use black.
How long drying after wash?
Average 10min, but better leave it to dry longer.
Apparently it is different from Tamiya's Panel Line, which is not as easy to clean.
MY wash was nothing like that, same brand and everything. It was so watery even after shaking well.
It is rather filter than wash.
@@michal1242 it is wash 🙃
