Hi folks

I bought the MIG German Filter set, but I am not really sure when I should apply it.
Shall I apply it directly on the painted model or first after the gloss coat and the decals are applied?

Thanks for tips.

Nils

Hm, nobody has any clue or used them also and can say about it?

After painting, you apply a gloss coat or some future and appy your decals.
When your decals are dry, put another gloss or semi gloss ( satin ) coat on your model.
After the last layer has dryed, you can put on your MIG filters and your dusting or what ever you want.

hi nils
i usually apply my filter/wash directly to my top coat of paint.if you have painted your afv with acrylics then the filter will stain the top coat and leave you with a filter.i haven't used the mig set but i would have thought it is the same as an oil paint based wash.if you can spend a few euro's then try this dvd 'realistic armor finishing techniques' by marcus nicholls it will explain everthing in great detail.
good luck

Hi Frank and Neil

Thanks for your replies. I see,there are 2 ways to go for.
I think, I will try both of them and will see which is better.

Hi Nils,

Here is Mig's opinion about filters. This should help.
