Aces High A Blood Red Skies Plog by CommodoreRob

I ordered a few Wellington’s from Armaments in Miniature, which arrived today. So I thought I would get them started.  These are really lovely resin casts. There was very little clean up to do.

I primed in my usual AP skeleton Bone. Then the underside and fuselage were done in a dark olive green from Vallejo.

I then masked off the top of the fuselage and engine cowlings and applied Gunship green again Vallejo.

Then I created the camo pattern using Vallejo dark sand

I then removed the masking and painted the engine cowlings and the wheels using Vallejo black.

I then used Vallejo engine grey to block out the canopy panels.

Next up is the addition of the Decals. In this case I used Humbrol Decalfix to apply the decals. It is a one stop medium. You pour a bit into a container, preferably one that will not react with the liquid. Decals are then soaked in the liquid for a few mins as you would traditionally do with water. The beauty of Decalfix is a Matt surface can be used. So when ready a thin coat of Decalfix is applied to the surface where you wish to locate the Decal. You apply the Decal and leave for a while I leave mine for 24 hours. In this time the decals are dissolved into the model and fit any contours in the model. They look as though they were painted on.

Next step is to add the Army Painter Dark Tone Dip using a brush and leave for 24 hours to dry.

And after a few light coats of AP anti-shine they are ready to play with 🙂
