Any advantages of enamels?

I am an enamel fanatic
and I will not switch to acrylics as long as enamels are available, even having to go get them myself 
and has nothing to do with existing stock.as for the advantages, I think you meant the advantages enamels have on acrylics

No Joe, I do not agree. Both parties can do the same jobs, depend how you manage to master them. I do not feel one has an advantage on another on the finish and performance. The BEST advantage acrylics have is that they can dry faster and allow you further work and glazes. Apart they are durable to certain heavy weathering effects, especially if you go with alcahols and thinners, something enemels can't really do as they are made the same substance ... this is the same as in figures, there used to be fans for acrylics and used to be fans for oils, still no one outride the other, now who is sane gets the best out of the two!

and most important to us mud huggers its very resistant to our (mine especially) weathering

Back to the original subject of the thread, OSCAR is now ready for it's gloss coat and panel lines weathering.... question is, do I still use OILS to weather the panel lines, or should I use something else? What about the colour of the wash, do I stick with burnt umber, or should I use another colour?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Any help anyone on what I should use to highlight the panels? What type of wash? Oil, pastels, etc? What colours would suit best on the green and the bare silver?
Thanks
Thanks

my opinion is that
THE SHADING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE THE CHIPPING IM AFRAID.
you can still apply some shading first by giving the panel lines a burnt umber oil wash/fill than by carefully airbrushing same burn umber oil wash mixed with some varnish around the panels

I have pre-shaded the panels prior to applying the IJA Green. What I meant is, what is best to fill the panel lines now? Burnt umber again? Also, this should be done AFTER applying the gloss varnish, right?

sorry cant see them either the pics are a bit drk or most probably my eyesight is playng up again. it would be advisable to do it after varnish. just ask for more feedback from the wingy guys

Definitely apply any washes on gloss surface only, otherwise they will get stuck to a matt surface, and you need to seal the colors for protection. I would not play with any shading at this stage as I feel it is a bit risky and might not get the desired effect but that is my opinion. My personal choice about the wash would be raw umber mixed with black, to get a dirty black. Whether you use oils or others it is up what you use as gloss varnish and your confidence. Today on the market there are ready made washes, example, promodeller washes, which are clay based, so they should not harm the paintwork, by I havent used them yet, so I cannot tell.

For the benefit of those who did not come at the club, here are some photos of the Nakajima KI-43-II Oscar. Hope you like it. The kit has some inaccuracies from my side, but overall I am quite happy with how it turned out....also because this is the first kit I completed since joining the club. I will take more care when doing the rest of my kits....

ok i know i build afv's but i like heavy weathering on planes, i like this one but would have loved it if it was just a little dirtier in terms of grime, oilstains etc. none the less, i still think you did a great job of it
