I tried the one they recommend put it didn't work so I got pixresizer which worked alright. your help would be greatly appreciated. thank you. |

| A sponge would have worked:) |

| I actually did use a toothbrush (an old one, not the one I used on my teeth) to paint the streaked finish on a Fokker Dr.1 Triplane. It was the only thing I had that would get that effect. Different (brush) strokes for different folks. |

| I've seen some models which look as if that's the way they were painted, albeit with a brush, or broom. Going from what "they tell you" bottle/can colors to mixing your own is like finally getting out of diapers. |

| I forgot to mention, during WW2 the Germans had a field applied camp paint that arrived in paste form. It could be mixed with water or gasoline and painted on the tank. Or, I guess, it could even be smeared on. How diluted it became was up to the "artist." I have also seen pictures of American tankers painting their M5 Stuart tank with a spray gun, applying black camp over olive drab. And over the caked in mud, tarps, gear, gas cans. They left everything on the tank as they sprayed! Good thing no one was napping on the tank at the time. |

| Brian, some modelers will "scale" their colors (the smaller the scale, the lighter the color) and have impressive formulas to achieve that. In the real world, colors are mixed to a formula (sort of), often by soldiers in the field. Age, grime, light conditions when a photo was taken, how the photo was reproduced, etc. all play into what it all looks like. The way you described the process (and as David agreed) is the best way to achieve a good look. We sometimes forget this is a hobby, and meant to be fun. Enjoy! |

| Yes and yes. |

| question for dd or anyone. when you do your camouflage do you estimate what colors to paint it in if it doesn't tell you to? do you try shades of colors until you get it? |
