Paint instructions

Post by Augustus »

Hi I'm just confirming, does this instruction mean to mix XF 52 and 64 at a ratio of 1:1 so 50/50?

Also what's the best way to get the worn metal effect on tank tracks edges?

Cheers

Yes it's 50/50. Don't know about the tank tracks.

for the tracks after painting and weathering I normally scrub the lead of a pencil on a bit of sand paper , put the dust on my finger and then rub all the worn metal edges....gives a nice finish
Hope this helps
