Colors Good 4 Wood
No matter if you use decals or prefer a hand painted wood grain, as long as you work with translucent effects (decal/oil color glaze) you need a proper basecoat. Ideally,a basecoat includes preshading effects like brightened panel centers and/or light and shadow effects. In the following you find the products that I use the most. I have many more Browns and Yellow tones, but they collect pretty much dust. The colors in the following are the ones that have proven their effectiveness on a regular base.
Please check the examples of use on the bottom of this page.
Multi-Color-Basecoat System, using various yellow and orange tones, preshading, tinting and zenithal light effects.
1.) Basecoat Sandy Brown
2.) Sandy Brown + White in the
centers
3.) Shades of Black, blended in with another layer of Sandy Brown
4.) White+Sandy Brown as a filter (by
Airbrush)
5.) Decal
6.) Accentuating with clear Orange

Base Colors
A standard tone when it comes to basecoats for Uschi´s wood grain decals. Brush the entire panel with this color, and bright up the center of the panel with Radome+white. Apply the decal. Perfect. Thats what I use all the time. Radome is a glossy color.

Transparent Finishing Colors
Clear colors are a neccessary asset in the color rack of many modelers. These colors work as acrylic filters and/or postshading colors. One can break up any monotony of almost any color by applying a thin coat of these. For the wood sets these colors represent a finishing product, allowing you to set light and shadow, depth and/or variation. Clear Yellow is one of the most important clear colors to me. This is a glossy color.

Its name reflects its programme: It great for tires because its like a "broken Black" or "off Black". Another major benefit of this stuff is when it´s used for preshading. Its more easy to make smooth and soft color gradiation compared to "Dead Black". This is a flat color.

Off white is something like a very, very bright grey. It is pretty handy for toning and brighten up colors when a standard White would be "too White". I use this color to brighten up panel centers and for zenithal light effects. One can actually say that this color is already "broken" i.e. faded and weathered. This is a glossy color.
