Ok I'm confused. What and how is the Worn Effect acrylic fluid used? Is it a paint that gives it a worn look? Or is it used for chipping effect?

Very nice indeed!

Black Sheep.
It's used for chipping effect like hairspray.

Thanks Portman. I'll be working on chipping tonight.

Here’s tonight’s work. I whetted a stiff brush and went over the areas that are chipped. I when ahead and added a slight amount of chipping to the wing Hinomarus. The only pictures that I can find of the plane were during the Ceylon in May 42. I’m figuring there was a little more chipping during that month before Midway.

Next I want to add some panel lines and some wash. I also need to finish the canopy and add the pitot tube.

That worked really well!

Seeing the result I was thinking the exact same thing!

Cool Great job on the paint.

Thanks guys. I love the AK chipping fluid. They also have Heavy Worn Effects which I would like to try and would work well with a derelict subject such as an abandoned vehicle.

The chipping turned out great!

Thanks John,
OK guys I’m done with the Kate. It depicts AI-301 from the Akagi with a 6 bomb load out. Not a bad little kit for an older mold. There was some flash that needed to be removed and I used the bombs and tail gun from the Airfix Kate. The base is the 1/72 Japanese Carrier base form Coastal kits.
