what is the best way to simulate a heavily faded, and heavliy dirty aircraft? do you just mix a proportionate amount of white paint into your camoflage colors, and then use a heavy wash? or do you spray white on lightly after all of your colors have gone on? wha’ts the best way to do this?
HEY,
I have heard of using salt and painting over it, and then you peel the salt off, and it gives a weathered look to it. Hope this helps.

To represent fading, i follow gregg cooper’s article and the amazing finish he had on his J1n1 Gekko. You can find it http://www.features02.kitparade.com/gekkogc_3.htm[url][/url]. As for a dirty plane, i guess u could use ground up pastel chalks, a wash, or like i do, using a artist pencil, i draw in the panel lines, then with an artist’s blending stump, smear the graphite outwards.
I agree with dadfad. Check out that article.
