Adding yellow to the green lightens it properly. By the time the last coat is put on the ratio should be 50% yellow to 50% green. The oil wash is done last(raw umber)to bring out the detail and to add a filthy look to the model.<br /><br />Dave<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554301473766836128.post-26400564082685483132012-10-14T15:22:28.976-06:002012-10-14T15:22:28.976-06:00The aging of the paint job was done with oils, cor...The aging of the paint job was done with oils, correct?

The paint has just the right amount of aging.<br /><br />Warren, I have to tell you that I was out at a local park reading yesterday when I was surprised to see a PBY Catalina flying slowly overhead. Obviously a bit unexpected, but what a treat! I need to pay more attention to what our flight museum has going on!Hannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936315047570120258noreply@blogger.com
