SOLUTION BOX – WWII Luftwaffe Mid War Aircraft

What a Solution Box is

A Solution Box is a complete package that gathers the means needed to paint and to finish the surface of one type of subject. The point of the line is that you need not put the combination of shades and toning means together yourself piece by piece. This package is aimed at German aircraft of the middle phase of the Second World War.

What subject it is aimed at

German machines of this period carried a combination of gray and gray-green shades on the upper surfaces with a light underside, completed by a mottled pattern on the fuselage and on the tail surfaces. The surface of aircraft in combat service aged quickly: exhaust traces behind the engine, worn strips at the wing root, rubbing around the service hatches and traces of repairs to the paint. It is precisely at these phenomena that the set is aimed.

How to work with it

First apply the paint of the upper and lower surfaces in several light coats and let it dry properly. Only over a dry and unified surface work with the toning means: bring out the recesses, then lighten the centers of the surfaces and at the end add local soiling. Work from the subtle to the pronounced, because taking away is always harder than adding. Choose the thinner and the ratio of thinning according to the instructions of the manufacturer on the packaging, and do not hurry between the individual steps.

• a package put together by theme for one group of subjects
