    Lockheed SR-71 any ideas for best scale colour for 1/72

    Vallejo Paints/thinner etc

    Are you giving the Vallejo varnish a good shake before using? While it does say on the bottle "can be mixed with water" I have never done this, and have just sprayed it neat right out of the bottle with no problems...no milkyness, nothing....always comes out great. Hey, Yep gave the bottle...

    Color Modulation + Weathering

    I can't speak for IAN , but I believe he has used the same method. It's really simple & easy to achieve. All you need is the Vallejo SS Camo Black/Brown #822 - Model Color. Or the Flames of War ( same stuff) German Camo Black/Brown - it has the same # just has a Flames of War label on it...

    Color Modulation + Weathering

    That looks absolutely stunning! I mainly model and weather aircraft but could you tell me how you achieve the dark paint chip effect and scratches, they look so authentic. Its an effect I'd like to try and use around engine cowlings and exhaust manifolds. ballsnchunk

    Is there an alternative to Klear/Future in the UK

    Hi Guys/Gals I have been trying to get my sticky paws on a bottle of Johnsons Klear, understandably to no avail. and according to various stores Future doesn't even exist! After trawling across the T'interweb it seems that Klear was rebranded as Pledge Multi surface wax although this seems...
