Thanks Steve. As for the Ceramacoat here is a description of what I do: I use a craft acrylic, very cheap and very thick! I apply a thick coat in the area I want wrinkles. I then take a pointed brush and drag it through the thick application going in the direction I want the wrinkles to go. After the first one the next pass creates a ridge on both sides. This process continues for as many wrinkles as I want to add. When dry I over paint with Polyscale or something similar and smooth out the trailing edge. I then airbrush the overall color. Simple and fairly effective.

I have started the streaking on F1 103/17 using oils. Still some tweaking needed and of course still need to do the wings.
