Micheal,

     I'm not sure on what exactly that you want to achieve.  If you are
talking about the dark detail that has accumulated around the rib detail on
the ailerons and horizontal tail surfaces.  I recommend taking black, gray
or brown paint and thin it down alot and then apply to the already painted
surface.  Let the thin down paint accumulate in those areas and use the
brush to move it around surface for the desired effect.    Once it dries and
you are satisfied with the finished look then seal the finish with a clear
coat (Matt, Gloss, Satin).  As I have stated in previous threads I do not
airbrush and I use HUMBROL paint.  I does give me the desired effect that I
am looking for.  I hope this helps you, Michael.

Hi:

I am doing the Legato Hansa Brandenburg B.I kit.  I want to attempt some of
the shading tricks that I have seen on some models, such as:

http://www.wwi-models.org/app/sbj/srch/Macn.php?action=uModelList&subjId=200

on Peter Plattner's Lloyd C.V - the ailerons and horizontal tail surfaces.

Any ides on how to create this effect?

Thanks,

Michael
