That one's finally done!

Image

I used an oil wash for the panel lines..

Image

...and various oil filters to darken certain panels (thank Chukw for that technique!). I also used oils to make oil stains and grime, which is particularly workable after the flat coat.

Image

Pastels were used to dirty the model further, sun-fade the upper surfaces, make smoke stains, etc.

Image

The engine got some further weathering with brown oils to bring it in line with the rest of the model and make the overall look more consistent.

Image

With those kind of holes in the skin that guy ain't gonna fly again any time soon!

Image

A good view of the camo:

Image

In addition to the oils I used AK Fuel Stains to make...well, fuel stains. The result looks OK, I guess.

Image

Chipping was a major step in creating the beat-up, battle-weary look I wanted. Using different shades and tones of metal paint and working the areas over with pastels and oils helps make it look more realistic.

Image

Those filter details were worth the effort, I think.

Image

That gat won't shoot no more!

Image

The fire damage and smoke stains are faithfully reproduced from pics of a real shot-down Falke. :mrgreen:

Image

My personal fave in this build: the inside of the hatch cover.

Image

I like to get down and dirty. :cool:

Image

Rear details.

Image

Thanks to the big opening the inside of the pit is quite visible.

Image

Front view. Love the rough, tough and mean look.

Image

That's it with the Falke. Now on to something else. Thanks for following along!

Cheers!

Great paintwork Michel, looking really good!

Especially the engine, that must be the jewel of the build!

Thanks, Kari! The engine being so visible it was well worth detailing it. Glad you like it!
