A way to achieve a weathered Jet finish.

- Using a newish tool from Premium Hobbies I have been able to play and get a blotchy weathered finish, typical of what we see on US Air Force Jets. If you would like to contribute to the channel.. please look here.. / nigelsmodellingbench
I've got a copy of Cormans' EE Lightning book and it is excellent
Oh my, i like these little templates, and the effects you created using. Ive seen naval and marine aircraft that flew for months off of aircraft carriers, they looked just those photos in the book. Off course squadron command had us repaint the aircraft once we were back on land based command.
Thank for this video.
I like the way you put on effects and then turn down the effect.
Yes Michael, surface finish is all about playing with banging it down then knocking it back.. sounds quite aggressive really lol
Very interesting affect nigel. Thanks
Boy, this was a wake-up, Nigel! Can't wait to try this with some light tans or yellows for a tinted effect variation thrown in. Thanks muchly! Dane
Have fun!
Amazing tips
Building A-10 looking at some of your older videos this jet weathering video is helpful I dont usually build many jets
Great review! Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
Nigel fantastic video ,, you explain the techniques so well and detailed 👌😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Nigel,really informative. A view into the dark arts of weathering.
Glad you enjoyed it
Glare is my favorite color on the F-14. It's classic.
Cool stuff Nige, thanks for that, I will have to pick up a set of those.
You should
lol nice to see we share the same taste in cigars
We used to, I haven't smoked for 12 years.
Bloody awesome technique mate. Have saved this for the one day in the future I decide to finish my f-14.
Hi Hibbo. I gave you three a shout out in my forthcoming part 9 video.. and could not remember your bloody name.. sorry mate.. till next time.
@@NigelsModellingBench hahahaha. All good mate. I am forgettable. Thanks for the shoutout though. Means a lot.
Great Stuff Mate, I am not a jet man but well for a first crack at it legendary effort, Cheers Jason
Glad you enjoyed it
Got the Uschi set 1 recently but I haven't used them yet so this was very helpful. Before the video had finished I was on to Premium and bought set 2 and some Infini clear files. Expensive watch despite NMB10!
Sorry John. You will NOT regret buying those files. Once the medium beds in a bit... after one or two uses, it is the best tool out there for removing sprue Nibs. Especially on clear parts.
I'm working on Revell's A-10 Warthog at the moment and this is exactly the information I need exactly when I needed it. Thanks!!
Great technique demonstration of using stencil masks. Many modelers talk about this technique but few actually demonstrate it. Thanks for thaking your time and sharing it with us.
Thank you very much! I was only playing around.. I want to get serious with these tools though.. they are going to be VERY handy.
Hi Nigel, great video. I would like to try this technique on a ship hull, or maybe even a submarine. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Great idea Jeff. I am trying to think of a trial I can do with the "cracked" one?
@@NigelsModellingBench have a go at a sub with a cracked paint scheme. I have seen many after long deployments that have a bit of cracking mate.
I think that different specular variation is often overlooked. We all end up coating in flat/goss whatever. Love watching yer vids!
Very interesting Nigel, very informative. You're a magician mate, you're messing around and it turned out crazy nice. Putting a set of that stencil in my cart. Thanks! Cheers
Thanks 👍 I'm no magician John.. i just like playing in front of the camera.
@@NigelsModellingBench I'm on the spectrum - that's magic to me mate! What you do there was amazing mate - cheers
Interesting stuff Nigel. I have no experience of all this pre shading and post shading lark lol. I have seen a few examples of how other modellers do it. One guy primes the whole aircraft with black, then sprays a blotchy pattern of matt white all over. Then puts the main colour down with a light coat on top. Another guy primed with a grey first. Then he sprayed a swirly pattern with Tamiya Deck Tan, before putting down a light coat of the main colour. I am trying the white over black method on my Hornet build. I have done the white over black. But not put down a base coat of the main colours yet.
The technique you have tried is called black basing Andy. It is a wonderful process if you can pull it off. I think the end results are very similar to what you see here?
@@NigelsModellingBench We shall see how I get on. Not put the top colour down yet. I will email you some pics lol.
@@NigelsModellingBench Agree...Black basing and then either using a random pattern all over or random inside panels and leaving the panel lines dark before you start the light coats on top really works well. If you cover up too much you can always use the Uschi sets (I have several and they're great). Unfortunately that means I go through tons of Mr. Surfacer 1500...
Very interesting idea and looks really weathered. I’ve not seen the stencils used like that before. Usually you see people holding the stencil in one hand off the model and spraying lightly through it to get a post shaded/highlight effect. There’s a good video of Scale Model Shed using them on the Swordfish (posted in the last couple of days). I’ve used de-layered scouring pads and you get the same effect but the stencils look much easier to use … and those inifini standing sticks (all types) look so useful. Looks like I’ll be going onto Premium Hobbies to get some of those 😁
Don't forget.. NMB 10 gets you 10% off... That's incredible that two You Tubers put up videos on the same techniques on the same day!!
Great video mate. Was lucky enough to see F14’s being serviced following deployment many years ago. They were like patchwork, no two panels the same colour. Always said if you weathered an aircraft like the ones I saw people just wouldn’t believe just how battered they really got.
Thanks for the info Richard. Are the F-18E and F showing their age yet? Have you seen the pic on the video title of the GR4 Tornado.. Looks like Berlin Camo on a Chieftain!!
@@NigelsModellingBench my mate is coming in from Hawaii next month. He is a former S-3 driver with VS-29 dragon fires. He recently retired, but keeps close with the fleet and other naval aviator’s, so I will ask. He did tell stories of when aircraft returned to the carriers all panels were removed and checked for FOD, when replaced they piped a thick black goo round each one when replaced. On his advice a thick black panel line wash round each access port on anything 1989-2012!
Thank you for this one Nigel. I think this would be a very effective technique to use especially on carrier based jets that are exposed to the wearing effects of salt water spray. Cheers.
Absolutely.. which is exactly what the F-14 was Allen, so I guess that's why it looks so bad. I guess the crew walking on the salty deck then standing on the airframe doesn't do them much good?
I wonder if small bits of blue tack or white tack under the 4 corners of the template would stand it off from the surface a bit and ensure those soft edges.
Bloody good idea!! Thankyou
Excellent video Nige, I have a couple of different templates that I have dabbled with for black/colour basing but was nice to see something similar with pre shading thrown in as well!
🤔little practice for a 1/32 Tornado build by any chance🤞🏻
Hi Nigel, great video(again), many thanks. I made my own painting stencils using sheets of evergreen polystyrene, mid thickness. I used a soldering iron to melt the splatter and effects I wanted. I did try using plastic from notebook covers thinking it was nice and bendy but it was too hairy at the edges of the melting. a pig to clean up. in terms for the hard edges when using the splatter stencil. would it be an idea to tape post it sheets to the edge of the stencil thus increasing your masked off area beyond the spray blast but but not actually having anything stick to the model which hampers movement? worth a thought. Cheers Will
I think there is a lot more to do with oils and brishes.
What oddless thinners do you use?
Any, there are a few available on Amazon.
all grey jets that are matt look a mess.......... those stencils look way to small for 1/32 jets, would rather the sheet was 7 inches by 7 inches........... but unfortunately the actual jet in your photos was way dirtier, whatever the case it looks really hard to do..... it looks like hairspray chipping over black and then a wash of dirty grey........ and then another coat if need be......... but only on a cheap junk test model HA HA
