I am building 1/48 scale F-22 Raptor and want to give the exterior finish some “depth”. The model will be a 2 tone grey color. Would I use a wash, dry brushing ?

Firstly, welcome to the forums, JKrell!! I’m no expert, but giving your F-22 a wash of a darker tone of the base color will give the illusion of depth. There are a couple of methods you can use to achieve this… I think Swanny has a spot on his website about all the basics for washing, and DJmodels has a thread somewhere here about how he applies a wash. Hope this helps! [:)]

Thanks. How do I get to Swanny’s website? I am new to this one so I have some catching up to do!!
