This “office” is really incredible. If I may, I would like to ask you how you raise the detail of black parts, and in general how do you execute the washes.

Thanks Paolo. Its a drybrush technique. I paint the boxes Tamiya XF-69 NATO Black and then drybrush them with a gray enamel. Any gray paint will do, but I use Model Masters. I then lightly drybrush them with Floquil Old Silver to show some wear. I think they stopped making Floquil so you may have to source it elsewhere or check Ebay. The key is to go very lightly with a stubby flat brush. Reference the wash, I use “The Detailer” on my cockpits, a mixture of the black and brown. Its a waterbased wash that I have really taken a liking to. I found it at my local hobby store, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Here’s a tutorial on how I paint and weather my cockpits…
