Thank you very much for this information,  Mike! that sounds exactly like what I am looking for for quite a long time. I have checked the website and watched the video — I‘ll definitely get some bottles of that stuff.
Best regards

One important thing to remember is to decant the wash from the bottle - don't dip your brush into the bottle as the wash is easily contaminated with residue from paints, thinners etc - any contamination will turn the wash thick and unusable.

Hi all,
The Upper surface camouflage is done with the engine, rudder and forward 'mesh' grills fitted.

Absolutely gorgeous work! Painting weathering and markings are awesome! The downside is I don't think I will ever build mine after seeing yours  ;D

Looking very good. I do like your approach to the weathering. Will definitely have to try that approach.
