....and I then added some Streaking .... ....and blended this in

weathering, only basic operational use wear. So,

using Ammo by MIG enamel washes, I stared

with a Neutral Wash to accent all recessed

details on the White underside parts. Then a

few speciic areas around the engine received a

Deep Grey wash for some higher contrast and

the engine vents, and a Black wash for a better

depth efect. Over the Blue areas on the top

and fuselage sides, my option was a Dark Sea

Blue wash.

Next, I turned my attention to the

‘water line mark’, something quite

common on amphibian

aircraft. To create a

discolouration in

this area, I prepared a paper mask, but ripping

the paper instead of cutting, this way I had

an irregular border. With the paper mask in

place I airbrushed a very thin layer of White,

just to give a lighter shade. Next using Ammo

by MIG Streaking Grime I painted a thin line

across the lightened edge and spread the

product vertically with a lat, clean brush. The

underside of the fuselage then received

several applications of Streaking Grime

and US Modern Vehicle Wash to give a

dirty appearance, and Engine Grime

was used around the engine nacelles

to add a more operational wear look.

After a Matt coat I came back to the

‘water line mark’ and used a Prismacolor

Green pencil to reinforce the irst line I created.

The pencil was then softened and blended

A pencil was then used to reinforced the line.....

...and the efect was softened with a stif brush
