@ erh_teo

do u mean by buying maybe a rust brown enamel paint from maybe tamiya for example;

den i use a brush to brush it to make the effect as i like? sorry for asking so much hehe, my only experience is panel lining lol, so there's lots of things tat i wanna make sure before i do it and spoil my kit ><

erm just another nub question,

i used MR.hobby black color + water, to do some weathering, maybe i bought the wrong turpentine and it cant mix with the MR.hobby color so i used water instead, lazy to go out n get a new thinner or turpentine..

so i used it as a weathering to my model aircraft.. my question is will this weathering wear off overtime? like it will slowly slowly go away maybe in years to come, or it will stay, without a flat coat on it of course, i do not have them atm and i dun think i will buy one haha..

EDIT: forgot to mention, its just the surface of the plastic, without any primer or anything, no watsoever paint too before the weathering, just pure from the runner --> weathering

@rayloke

erm i have done abit of research, and my plane is the F-18/E Super Hornet, most of it is grey in color, i painted some parts like the wheel, the landing gear, wheel chamber, and the ekzos *how to spell* lol.. thats all i did, i went for minimal coloring, i do admit i hate the original plastic grey color, but after i done abit weathering on it as in to show the 'aging' of the plane, it looks ok >< guess it just suit my eye hehe, dun have much time on spending time on this hobby >< i can only throw out a limited time for it

guess i will just be happy that i stil have tat limited time to spend on this ambitious hobby of mine


@erh_teo

haha i dun have experience on these colors >< thanks for the advice hehe *no wonder it didnt mix lol*

man, the colors are already fading lol, does it have to do with me mixing the Mr.Hobby paint with water that affected its durability? i bought a top coat and spray on it thou, maybe the top coat eat away the color haha,

now i use the normal color pencil that children use to re-color it darker.. dunno if that will stay or its temporary again, guess when u do it 'cheapo' way, the durability also 'cheapo' way hahaha

is there anyway to preserve these weatherings? if not guess i have to recolor it with color pencil everytime the color fades LOL

erm if my decal 'silvered' is there any way to salvage it? lol

erm i would like to ask sifus around here before i start doing it and regret it later lol... this knife cutter.. use to cut perspecs one, OLFA P-450 http://www.olfa.co.jp/en/body/detail/79.html

can it be used to scribe panel lines on model kits? in my case is a military airplane..

thanks in advance for the advice..

one more thing too.. just wan to confirm that if i spray using industrial can onto the plastic without any primer 1st beforehand, i can stil remove the paint right? one of the method i saw is using brake oil.. scared tat i might spray not nice and want to remove it lol, stil a newbie

>< i saw the scriber from hasegawa and it costs rm60.. n dun think im gonna use it much.. so tats why i asked if those cutter can be used to replace it since i have it already haha..

erm instead of brake oil, is there any other way to take out the paint? its just when i search about it, one of the method is brake oil.. so im not so sure myself actually..

alright.. learned something.. haha.. thanks!

erm about industrial spray cans, i have checked that the brand Anchor can be used also, coz i tried finding nippon pylox near my area and its quite hard to find.. say if i test it on the runner and it didnt melt or anything, it shud mean its safe right?

anyway thanks for the replies.. now i can do my things with less worries

ok, i have a clearer view on these matters now.. thanks z3r0717 and inquisytor
