Nice techniques overall --- especially going with light coats and building them up. Also, your Tamiya decal prep was very helpful. The tip on exhaust stains was very good. Lastly, the particular Skyraider you built was the CAG's (Commander Air Group) aircraft which I'm sure the aircrew kept immaculate as possible.
Hey, just saw your message. Thank you, glad you like the video. And....you just hit the nail on the head, it is the CAG bird and so it was probably kept in nice condition. Every photo of this aircraft was fairly clean. But the other aircraft in the squadron were dirty and some very very dirty.
Hi JP, yes templates are commercially available. The major modeling painting companies ( Vallejo, Ammo, AK) all produce their own. The one i use in the video is from AK. It’s nice but it was not cheap. I found that you can obtain generic ones on eBay for cheaper. I recommend looking on eBay.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Thanks very much for the quick response! I will definitely check these out as they can obviously save time with this technique.
doing this model at the moment, where did you get the splatter stencil you used at start? Seems a lot easier using that than airbrushing squiggley pattern in each panel.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thanks mate. Your skyraider turned out really nice. Up to decal stage now. Will be doing a similar sludge wash as you using mig pigment powder and water.

Nice video but it's about half the size it normally is, so it's hard to see details.
Hey, glad you liked the video. Not sure why UA-cam decreased the size of the pics. I think I need to upgrade my account.

Hey, I bought the stencils of off eBay. There are several different kinds. Go for no name brand, as they much cheaper.

How long do you let the clay wash dry before removing?
Hi Russell, the wash dries in about 20 minutes. You can speed up the process by using a small hair dryer on low heat.
