Aircraft Colours

Aircraft Paint Colours With the release of our new aircraft range, Wayne has asked me to tap out a brief summary explaining what colours I used to paint them all. So here goes… I started by undercoating with Black (FWP300), then giving each a coat of paint darker than its ‘normal’ base colour. I’ll call this the underbase. I then inked all the panel lines with heavily watered down brown paint, before applying the ‘base’ colour with two to three watered down coats.

Finally I applied the camouflage and it’s done… easy!

HURRICANE Tan Leather (FWP384) Sicily Yellow (FWP362) Battlefield brown (FWP324) Whitewash (FWP307)

Give the nose a coat of Oxide Red before applying Red. (Same for Warhawk)

STUKA Heer Green (FWP340) Tankovy Green (FWP341) Whitewash (FWP307)

Yellow is notoriously hard to paint, so paint a sand tone first (Sicily Yellow) before carefully applying Yellow over same area.

SHTURMOVIK Tankovy Green (FWP341) Motherland Earth (FWP383) Whitewash (FWP307)

The worn metal effect is quite simple. First Apply Panzer Grey (or any other dark grey) to any edges you want weathered, and then lightly go over this with Cold Steel or Dark Gunmetal.

Painting the scorpion was very, very easy. (Ed ~ It’s a decal!) Notes: Exhaust pipes-Try dry brushing Oxide Red over Black. Jeremy
