Doc I know it's going back a bit but can you remember how you weathered the parts to go from shiny silver to worn metal?

Thanks

I can’t remember this specific model, but in general it’s this:

1) spray with smooth aluminium/silver paint (Vallejo Air is good).

2) Coat with a thin layer of Klear (ie thin acrylic varnish).

3) Apply an enamel dark wash (MIG for example), and carefully remove any excess.

4) When fully dry, brush lightly all over with Tamiya Weathering Master ‘gunmetal’. This will tone down the effect of the wash, and dull the silver.

5) Seal with matt varnish - Windsor&Newton Galeria is good. This can be done on completion of the model.

Thanks Doc, I'll give it a go !

Have been studying this thread again because I have treated myself (much to wife’s pitying amusement) to a Hurricane kit.

My wife is the same. I wait until she starts playing candy crush then I immerse myself in wwII model building. She did say at least I don’t spend all week in the pub pissing away our money. So that’s a positive:-)
