Thank you! The star decal on the top part of the wing is roughly centered on the Hornets. Here, it seems to be positioned very far back. However, note that the control surfaces are not yet attached, which is why it appears this way. You can find photos of Hornets where this is clearly visible. www.seaforces.org/usmcair/VMFA/VMFA-232_DAT/VMFA-232-Red-Devils-157.jpg
Hi! When I use oil paints as a wash, I want a glossy varnish underneath so that the paint flows well along the panel lines and can easily be wiped off areas where it shouldn't be. On the other hand, when I need the oil paint to stick to the surface, I apply a matt varnish. Matt has a texture like a sponge and absorbs the oil paint. Perfect for creating dirt effects.
In this case, use a matt varnish again. If you apply a glossy varnish, the oil paint won’t adhere to the surface. You’ll try to blend it smoothly, but the paint will move around on the surface. The best thing to do is test it on scrap plastic.
@@Model_Addict so I tried both gloss and flat surfaces and end results was the same. only difference is blending easier on gloss surface but flat lets u see effects right away but bit more work to blend.
That’s some high level weathering right there!
Thanks mate!🤙

Great how to video, but the star and bar decal on the right top wing drove me crazy. Is there a reference to put it on the back edge of the wing?

@@Model_Addict how about if u want to shade panel lines and also fade the center panels, gloss better or still use a matt surface ?
