Karl-- certainly looks promising. Can you describe what you did and what you believe the final product will look like?
thanks

I applyed the usual dark yellow base coat.then masked off where the dark yellow will be seen on the camo.Painted dark green all over the model.once the paint had dryed masked off the green camo ready for the red brown colour.and what will the final product look like! i have no idea,but i do hope it works.

Hi karl,

looking good.
I'm not familiar with maskol, how does it work? Is it a liquid or is some sort of parafilm?

Could you please enlighten me, because I'm still looking for a good way to combine 1/72, an airbrush and hard edged camo.

Thanks

HI pascal the maskol is a purple colour liquid that you brush on.after it has dryed about an hour or so it turns in to a sort of rubbery compound.Then after all paint has dryed you just pull of the mask and hopfully a nice camo will be the result.hope this has help.cheers .i will post some pics later if all has gone to plan,fingers crossed.

I'm looking forward to the pictures. And thanks for the explanation.
I'd like to know that when you take of the mask if small parts will stick to it and be torn ofthe model? Or is the mask soft enough to leave these undamaged.

Good luck and keep us posted

Maskol will not tear any parts of the model, it's not very sticky.
