Looks great Robert nice job on the camo so far

[Robert1968]

Had half an hour or so and thought I'd lay down the the next tri colour XF-67 NATO green. And I think it's turned out not too bad for a first attempt.
I will poss need to touch up with XF-68 NATO brown here and there and I've read that a very fine mist of buff seems to help blend the colours in and give a more natural dust finish( not tried this yet though
See what you think
Thanks for looking

Robert

Thanks guys
Once I have more time I'll finish off the camo scheme then concentrate on the detail painting, mufflers exhausts etc and then the real fun begins weathering!!! and dirty up

Looks good Robert. I have used the dust coat of buff to tie things together, although this has been one of the last things I've done (after most of the weathering). On my KT I also used a filter designed for tri-camo., which was applied immediately after painting the camo.

Great stuff and il get on to John to get me some ( put order in )
Is this like the same method as buff ( do you use the filter as a fine mist over the finished camo as OCD never really used filters before.

Thanks

Robert

[Mr Bowcat]

No, the filter I just brushed on with a wide flat brush. You want to apply it very thinly and evenly over the entire model.

The buff I spray from a good foot away and just mist over the model.

[Robert1968]

Got it ordered from SMS
Thanks again

Robert

[Mr Bowcat]
