discussion 1/48 Otaki KI 43 Hayabusa 'Oscar'

You can use either. The fine table salt is good for the small scales, and the sea salt is good for any scales, just smack it up a bit finer for small models. The good thing with the sea salt is that the grains are irregular in size and shape which adds to the effect.

Good luck and dont forget to reduce the air pressure a bit if you air brush, or you will as I did the first time I tried, blow all the salt off! :laughing:
