Manni , I use Flory Clay washes as well and I highly recommend them . You can mix them with each other for varying in different shades .  :)


Alexis , just wanted to share !

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Alexis and Mike. I have the Flory wash, too and like to use them, but I think I did something wrong. I didn't add the washing liquid with the result of spots where the water dried.
Thanks,
Manni

Hi Manni,
The washing liquid, just one or two drops in an amount of the wash will be enough.
Best to decant the wash into another container to use as it will get easily contaminated with brush residue from other products.
It shouldn't matter how much you apply or if it dries in dark spots.
It's water based so should remove with slightly damp paper towel or brush.
If necessary you should be able to remove it all and start again if you don't like your first results.
Really wet the dried on wash to reactivate it and wipe or brush it away.
You can even airbrush straight water over the surface to 'blast' it away.
Remember the more matte the clear coat applied, the more the wash will grip and the less you'll be able to remove.
I usually clear coat the painted surfaces with a semi-matte,

Mike

Hi all,
The rigging has now been finished, apart from painting the turnbuckles.
Still to do are the wheels, tail skid, windscreen, ailerons, engine assembly and the figure,

Hi all,
Nearly there now.
Just the engine/prop assembly with propeller bullet deflector plates to do.
Plus of course the pilot figure,

I agree with Alexis, fantastic rigging job!

You delivered a fantastic model again Mike, and the engine and prop shouldn't pose any problem for you.

Hi all,
The model is now finished.
I'm just waiting for the display case to arrive.
The last shot for posting is the pilot figure.
The next shots will be the completed model, which hopefully will maybe at the weekend.

As usual, thanks to everyone for their encouragement and comments throughout this build,

Mike

This is another great build Mike. Everything I see looks great and especially the flying surfaces and the wood on the fuselage.
