I’ve seen some panel lines so stark and black it just ruins the model. In weathering, “less is more”. A great way to learn highly scaled techniques is to watch those YouTube videos of guys who weather their small-scale plastic models. I’ve discovered some incredible methods and the final results often look museum-quality.

I’ve used water based poly to seal the aircraft to prevent field soil from staining the aircraft. I’ve noted some areas still have mould release from the manufacturing process. What is the best wash to remove mould release wax before painting or sealing the aircraft? Care must be taken to not use a oil based sealant because it will break the foam down.
