A tad more done, I paint the misty soot traces in multiple stages to provide me from overdoing this part. I started with an ocre brown and build it up to black.

The wash looks perfect, what do you use?

Ian, I brush on an oil paint wash (a tad of black + ultramarine blue + burnt umber) and let dry for about 10 minutes. I use soft brushed, cotton swabs and cloth to remove the wash or soften the effects.

Did some more, slightly darker, now it's drying time.๐ซ This is a safe way to create the exhaust effect, I'm sure I'd mess up by airbrushing it.

Looks great Ian, easy to add more later if you want. Not every plane was always covered in grime

Very nice indeed, more soot would make it look like a unhappy engine.. ๐

Bert, Pete, Boots, Joe, Tommy, Paul, Ian, Steve, thank you for the supportive words!
Today's update, the soot stripes are an essential part of the characteristic look of the Skyraider so I made them darker. References show both rather "clean" as well as greasy sooty planes.
Pics as soon as the site works.
Sorry Bert, the engine looks pretty unhappy now.๐

The drop tanks were subtly weathered and added to the main pylons, the fuel stains will be brushed on tomorrow. The WW2 bomb was added to the center pylon. The other bombs and the rocket pods are ready to be slightly weathered.
