Brief outline – full information to follow nearer the date of the workshop

This workshop is aimed at any scale modellers at any level interested in painting black onto your models. The fact is black, rarely ever looks black in real life, especially on military aircraft and this workshop is all about understanding this critical point and learning options for representing black on your scale models.

With a focus on aircraft we’ll show you how to get very authentic black finishes – for example: aircraft with mainly black finishes like the SR-71A, F-117A Nighthawk, U-2, TR1-A, Phantom II and of course WW1 and WW2 aircraft such as bi-planes, night fighters, bombers (like those painted with Night Black undersides).

You’ll also cover other key areas like: rubber tyres; D-Day Invasion stripes; propeller blades.

And… how to weather your ‘black’ paint and finish to get that extra level of realism.

The techniques learned on your day will also help anyone else looking to achieve realistic black finishes on your models, whatever your area of interest.
