Thanks Gent's . I used Tamiya weathering pastels. My only concern is how it will look after I put a flat coat on top. I used these once before over NMF on my italeri F-100 and did not like the result after a few light mists of metalizer sealer... Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, so I am optimistic regarding the Skyraider. I'll probably test first on a paint mule though just to be safe....

I usually don't put a coat of clearcoat on top of any weathering pastels. But feel free to test on a mule kit.

Those Tamiya weathering pastels are pretty stable on their own. I’ve never used a top coat on, and instead always apply them last over any top coats.

Thanks for he advice!

Outstanding work! Someday, when i grow up.....

You diving deep into this one! Beautiful work on the driver. Are you making your own barrels from telescoping brass tubing, or did you buy those pre made? Very interesting about the pencil rub onto graph paper for the canopy mask…

I have some photos of an A-4 Skyhawk gunsight for reference if you’re interested…
