My first experiment with the hairspray method to create run off washes.
Late in the war, Germans deployed in wintery regions, used white chalk and other white paints to create Wintertarnung on-the-fly. It was sprayed ( when the equipment was available) brushed-on, and even just dabbed-on with a bit of cloth.
I kind of liked that look, especially when a bit of wet snow started to wash it away.
Having read about the hairspray-trick often, but never tried it, a barely running, years-old jagdpanther would be my subject.
Results? Quite good. I lòve the way it streaked and washed away with a bit of judicious toothbrush rubbing and just plain scratching the surface with my nails. ( if only those bloody Heng Long stickers would stay on..
)I liked it só much, that I gave my tired-old Jagdpanther a commander ( torro with Heng Long head transplanted) and the Haya 6.3 controller. Combined with two Igarashi, slow running 5-pole 380’s and the really smooth low-speed control of the Haya 6.3 ( Heng Long 6.1 with different transmitter and a fancy Haya sticker on the mfu) the all-plastic affair runs ( and sounds) like a dream.
So, without further ado, the result :
For lack of a proper studio, a white towel had to do. The “atmospheric”
(me being pretentious here
) shots were taken in front of the tv with snowscape pictures.
congratulations!
