weathering

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

I just painted my B-25J and I was wondering what kind of weathering I could do. Its O.D. w/ a grey bottom if that helps. I always build armor so this is pretty new to me. Hobby Lobby had a half off sale and I always liked the B-25.

try exhaust fumes, chipped leading edges, and prop blades, perhaps some dust on the wheel struts, or dirt on the tires. theres some suggestions for a start, would love to see it when its finished.

would i use black pastel for exhaust?

yeah, i find that works best, try mixing with something resembling rust or that sort of colour. grey is also good, then put a clear over to seal it. have a look at http://www.swannysmodels.com/Weathering.html
Swanny is fantastic with all his modelling experience, Hope it works out well for you.

ww2 boy is right. you should browse swanny’s website because he has a lot of excellent articles about the most common issues for modelers not as his level of expertise.
hope you enjoy and learn a LOT from swanny’s stuff.

Don’t forget a sludge wash to accent the panel lines… I use black temper paint thinned down to the consistency of coffee and then add a few drops of dish washing liquid. Paint it on the lines then after it dries use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it off and just leave the color in the lines. This is all on Swanny’s site too.

And OD turns to brown after some time.
