Anything fabric would be a paler version of the exterior colour. The doped fabric was semi transparent . obviously wood is wood coloured as Allen says…..though there are variations in colour depending on what wood they used….

Thanks for that mate as my instructions do point out the wooden bits but doesn't say what the rest is so I will look up the kit on scale mates you have recommended.
I think that is a cracking name lol...... What's in a name Scottie?!!....
..... I think your Spalbatros looks good.
Cheers for that mate.
I was thinking "Frankenspad", but yours is a better name!

Hi guys a question for the wingy people what is it you use for panel lines and is there a particular colour that would be best for a red paint job.
Personally I use a brown oil wash, I figure that pure black looks too stark, you can also use Tamiya Panel washes they seem to be quite good from what I've seen, Also, It might be worth a look at 'Flory washes', these are clay based and really do look spot on... there's also various colours/ tones you can choose from..
mucky grimey washy stuffy

Anything reasonably darker than the base colour, I would say (as a small-time occassional aeroplane modeller
) — for most things, I tend to use a concoction made from varnish and black pigment, giving a translucent paint darker than Tamiya Smoke, but laborious to apply because it’s as thick as proper paint. On the positive side, it doesn’t run anywhere
On a red finish I would try something burnt umber coloured Scottie. Personally I find black a bit much on reds, and the underlying green tone in burnt umber shades the red nicely.
I’ve usually used washes made from oil paint and sansodor, but the drying time can be a pain so recently I’ve started using Vallejo model washes. They are a little awkward until you get the hang of them, but adding a little flow aid and working on a damp surface minimises the coffee staining.

Calling this finished. It proved to be a real tester for me as I was well out of my comfort zone. But Hopefully the wingy guys will be gentle on me.

Now off to give it to the lady who asked me to build it. Hope she likes it.

Bob, thanks fella.
Thanks Andrew.
Not if she was hoping it turned out looking like a Spad. :smiling5: :tears-of-joy:
Looks good Scottie and nothing to poke fun at. So will be seeing more wingy stuff from you then?
Cheers,
Wabble
Excellent Scottie. These WW1 planes can be fiddly but make great models.
A fine job :thumb2:
Cheers Wabble, For the moment I think I will stick with things that go along the ground but never say never lol.
Cheers Jim, They certainly have a lot more character than modern aircraft.
Thank you Mark.
Cracking stuff. Looks fabulous Scottie.
