Thanks guys
I've definitely picked the right forum.. Everyone is so friendly & helpful. I'm amazed I've only just stumbled across it. I've been looking through the builds and the standards are incredibly high. I read through a couple from the scratchbuilds section and - wow!
Ridiculously good.. Just don't know how they do it.
The oil drying medium is 'Winsor & Newton Liquin' - it really does work - makes the drying times a day or two and not weeks!
My finish on the Pfalz was just a mix of a Vallejo grey (can't remember which one I used) and aluminium. I recall the mix was about 70/30 grey to aluminium, but in retrospect I would have made it 50/50 as it just looks grey to be honest - I was really after a more definite silver.. I remember reading an extract from 'Flying Fury' or 'Sagittarius Rising' about a silver Pfalz flashing in the sunlight..
Having said that, I may make the Snipe more grey again, maybe just grey, as Wingnuts say its a light doped finish - possibly silver - which at least gives me some artistic licence..
I'll post a cockpit update shortly.
