FORD WOT.6 TRUCK76 Airfi x Model Worldtotally obliterated. The base tone
was then lightened by adding
a hint of 61 Flesh and sprayed
into the panel centres, which
completed the ‘sculpting’ of the
otherwise plain single colour.
Paler patches, where the
load-bed machinery would be
positioned, were replicated by
downloading a plan of a suitablemachinery body vehicle, scaling
it to 1/35, and then cutting each
item from a printed copy. These
were placed in the relevant
positions on the load bed floor
with a small piece of Blu Tack,
which lifted the edges slightly to
give a faded/soft demarcation
to the sprayed Tamiya X-19 Clear
Smoke. When the paper wasremoved, lighter areas indicated
where the machinery and
lockers were located, prior to the
renovation work.
Decal preparation was limited to
airbrushing Vallejo 26.517 Gloss

TOO GOOD A SUB-ASSEMBLY TO HIDE” The seats were painted in a canvas tone,
after which simulated wear was created by
airbrushing them with a mix of the original
colour lightened with a hint of 61 Flesh.
The whole model then received an overall matt varnish to dull the decals and provide a
suitable base for weathering effects.
A pin wash was applied to the entire model, followed by dry-brushing with various
Humbrol enamels to highlight detail and accentuate the moulded features. Once satisfied with the colouring on
the wheel hubs, they were masked and the
tyres sprayed with XF-85 Rubber Black.
