Here is My experiment in chipping and layering paint on the Hasegawa Oscar. Not perfect but it came out OK. Also the only Decals were the OO and Blue stripe.

That's a hugely successful experiment Rick, your Oscar looks incredibly realistic and your paint effects give it real presence and sense of scale.

Thanks for looking in and the kind comment Richie! I forgot to mention that I used Hairspray as My chipping agent. Colors were mostly Tamiya with some Valejo and oils worked in.

Got to agree with Richie Rick: that finish is superb. Very realistic indeed and I am very impressed with the national insignia.

Thanks Stephen! The Hinomaru markings were painted using Masks made with My Olfa P Cutter 8)

Wow, Rick - that came out exceptionally well. Congrats on a beautiful model. There's something about that weathered, chipped look to Japanese aircraft of WW2. Looks great!
Cheers,

Looks like your experiment was a success. What method did you use to remove the top layers of paint?
The overall weathering looks very good as well.

Thanks Gary! This one was a practice run for one of these :

Thanks Ken. I started out a bit too ambitious by using a Toothbrush and water. I had to go back and redo the green and start over. The second try was using a stiffish paint brush, tooth pick and just a Drop of water on some areas.

Looks great. Did you use the hairspray method or one of the chipping fluids?

An Oscar? Fantastic. A G.50? Be still, my beating heart!!

A very fine chipping on a nice Japanese land-based aircraft!
I‘ve never seen such heavily chipped G-50, do you know what happened there?

I also like the WW2 Japanese aircraft, Rick -
You've really effectively caught the look of the weathered/chipped paintwork - well done, mate!

New techniques very successfully mastered.

Thanks Andreas. I am not sure why the heavy chipping occurred other than I have read that Italian Paint Adhesion was amongst the worse ! As there are two in the photo it was certainly common in this unit! One of them is actually the Commander of the unit! There is also a rear view photo in the old Regia Aeronautica book by Squadron. It shows that there was also heavy chipping on the wings.

Very interesting, many thanks Rick!

Rick,
That is stunningly awesome my friend! When applying your hairspray, did you do it straight from the can/bottle? Or did you decant it somehow?
Also, what type of hairspray did you use? (Yes, it does make a difference as sometimes the formula can vary between brands.)

Thanks Warren. This is the one I used. A Pump so No big deal Decanting. In this case I poured some in My Airbrush cup and sprayed the whole upper surfaces. With smaller 1/72nd kits I have been using a brush.

That is one stunning Oscar. And the funny thing is that compared to many Japanese a/c as the war went on, it's really only lightly weathered...
I’ve used the technique on a PzKpfw II in winter whitewash camo and found it tremendously useful. And I won't even make any bad jokes about how you can always drink the hairspray if your paint job goes South on you.
