The above 2 pics show some of the plastic brass painted parts from the kit.The first pic of various parts are as they come out of the box.To age brass I simply airbrush a fine mist of thin black gesso on the bare parts.I use gesso because it sticks to about anything and dries to a flat finish.I wouln't attempt doing this with anything else other than gesso.
The bottom pic shows the windshield/firewall assembly weathered in this manner.The firewall has been aged more than the windshield frame.You will have to experiment a bit here to please yourself.If you put on too much take a wet paper towel and remove it and try again.
For those of you who do not have an airbrush,take an old toothbrush at dunk it in a thin mix of Gesso and distilled water and finger flick(my term) a fine spray of this mix onto the part.Start by finger spraying onto a plain piece of paper and when the spray is fine enough start spraying the part.If you are careful and patient this will do the job as well as any airbrush.It will just take a little longer. biggrin.gif
