Hi All
I am now working on a Black Box resin cockpit for my Trumpter F4U-1D (which has not arrived yet). I have put the first coat's of paint down, and was now wondering, if I should thin down the paint to be used for drybrushing? The floor and lower walls are Interior Green, and the upper wall's are Cockpit black. How should I proceed? As far as consistency and color's are concerned?
Thanks

I've found the best drybrushing is with old, thick acrylics. The old Polly S stuff was great for this. Since your want the pauint to just catch the highpoints and you're wiping most off to begin with, thinning is not IMHO needed.
