Five pencils for chipped paint, bare wood and the metallic sheen of the places that get touched most.
Responsibility details are not available.
Wear along the edges is one of the details that decide whether a model reads as a machine in service. The five pencils in this package are put together for exactly that job and cover both metal surfaces and the wooden parts that turn up so often on older equipment.
Two pencils are meant for wood, one lighter and one darker, and suit crates, the floors of cargo beds, rifle stocks and ship decks alike. The graphite pencil gives the cold metallic sheen of places polished by boots or rubbing, that is to say step plates, hatch edges and the area around handles. The chipping shade covers ordinary scuffs in the paint, and the last pencil carries the color of a red-brown primer, the layer that most often shows through where the top coat has flaked away.
The most common mistake is spreading chips evenly over the whole model. In reality wear concentrates where one thing touches another: at the boarding points, around the latches, on the outer edges of the fenders. First lay in the deeper primer layer, put the chipped paint lightly over it and only at the very end add the metallic sheen over the smallest area of all. Once applied, the pigment can be blended with a damp brush or with a finger, which softens a transition that has come out too sharp. On wooden parts it helps to draw along the grain, otherwise the mark looks like a scratch. A photograph of the real machine is a good guide: on it, wear hardly ever sits where a modeler would draw it by eye.
