The thing about washes is they look a lot darker when you first apply them than after they dry, so always let it dry before applying more, or wiping it off cos you think you've added too much. I like to keep some cotton buds or absorbent paper handy when applying a wash too, just in case you do add too much or it runs somewhere it's not supposed to go.

I've just recieved a delivery of some new weathering products myself, looking forward to seeing what I can do with them soon.
It is hard to control the wash with the paper. After applying it on the paper looks so dark but if I wiped out too soon nothing is staying on the paper but if I leave it for a while the mark is permanent and I can't remove it at all.

Yeah I get what you mean, it's harder on a printed kit, I'm applying mine to painted surfaces so if I use too much and it dries, I can just paint over it.

Wonderfully made Olo, I admire your skills. The weathering looks very convincing and the plane looks like it's ready to fly away! Plastic experience? I hope your B17G gets a nice place for display but as the wing span is something like 3 feet + it'll be hard to put it "somewhere in between" I guess...
