joe, japanese paint did not stick too well on these aircraft most pictures you see are heavily chipped . most probably due to the laquered metallic paint underneath .

My point for heavily chipping this bird, although Joe is also right, I need to expose more aluminium at the wing roots and cockpit sides..... any side in particular which should be more bare, or both the same?

Do you mean clean ==> not weathered or clean ==> not chipped enough?

Also, what do you mean by predominance of green chipping over metal?

as for the second question the yellow was painted over the green. chip the yellow to reveal the green and some metal
capish as the doc would say

Others in the club keep to acrylics cos they have a huge depot of enamel based paints and are opbviously reluctant to throw away....

The colour vividity of acrylics is unmatched...dry faster and non toxic...

Any advantages of enamels?

The ORACLE HAS SPOKEN

What do you know of ENAMELS???????

Enamels are UNBEATABLE for any kind of delicate scribble, mottle and the least of overspray!!!!!!!

They are also unbeatable for troublefree clogging of the airbrush, so less time consuming......the time you spend applying sprayawy in the airbrush after each bout/cup full of paint, you would spray a 1:1 model

I am STILL WAITING and I DARE and CHALLENGE anyone to pull out a scribble or mottle scheme IN ACRYLICS, on a 1/72nd Aircraft like Aldo executes in ENAMELS

So Doc Roe, before you DARE make any comparisons of any kind, BE SURE you would have at least a SOUND KNOWLEDGE on the matter, moreover if you would have not experienced that matter yoursef

IMHO Acrylics are LIFELESS......no smell I miss the smell of cellulose, white spirit, turpentine, Oil paint and Linseed Oil even if branded "unhealthy and enemy of the enviorment" we're still gonna ALL die after all
