Easy paint chipping technique (technique in ten)

In todays video I will show you how to make great looking weathering effects for chipped paint. This method is a bit different from the usual method but works great. We will be using AK detail shine enhancer as a chipping medium on this B-26 marauder "flak bait"

The wear effect on the wings is really convincing. I'm going to give this a try. I'm building the Tamiya P-38G right now and this looks perfect for it.

In the words of Mike Rinaldi, “no chip is too small”.

Sweet! I'm grinding along on the old Monogram 48th scale B-26 but I'm adding engraved lines, resin nacelles etc. And recently I found newly produced Flak Bait' decals the last missing bit🤗

nice. The 1/72 version is a little tricky with aftermarket...

[@SMAZVidoes]

Very unique technique. I will try it for sure. Thanks

Good mention on using lacquers…

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Nice technique 👍

This method seems like it gives you better control than hairspray/chipping fluid

[@joshuabuck7835]

For wanting to do masking for your own markings later on, have you tried masking those areas off with tape before applying the grease? Curious how big of a buffer zone you would need to avoid paint lift from masking. I am a big fan of hairspray chipping, but this seems like it might be easier/faster.

[@WasatchModeler]

I have not tried taping off. That could be very wise. I started the masking for insignia and did not have much issues. A good clear coat helps keep Everything together for the next phase

Interesting method..... but do we need to see you in the big picture while you are demonstrating?

[@WasatchModeler]

Need, no. I figure out is more engaging.
