How to use Heavy Chipping Fluid on a Plastic Model Kit

In this video, Jack teaches us how an extremely useful weathering technique: using heavy chipping fluid on a plastic model kit to create that extra layer of realism and wear. Whether you're using it on an old car, model armor or an aircraft, chipping has uses across all categories of plastic modeling.

Great video. I'd love to see you do two layers, one natural metal and another zinc chromate or something like that.

Wonder if masking with tape would be possible on paint coat, for example if there is a camouflage instead of a single color... Seems the chipping fluid weakens the adhesion of the paint and it would not survive to tape removing.

Very neat process

Where did you get your spray booth?

Would you not varnish the silver so the chipping doesn’t take it off as well as the Oliver drab?

I like the AK weathering products but their paints are too variable in their results. I tried to use the AK real colors in the small bottle with the right thinner in the sky blue container and my paint just seems to never be uniform. Tamiya thins right up in seconds. AK? Not so much in my opinion. I have watched AK’s own tutorials etc and I just can’t get dependable results. Only mention it because the gentleman brought it up
