Many aviation modelers struggle to achieve true realism in some of the finer details of aircraft modeling and they will appreciate some sound advice from a master modeler.

Geoff Illsley, multi-award winning modeler and Chief Judge of the prestigious Euro-Militaire show, is famous for his airbrush painting techniques but is also a dedicated and passionate aviation modeler. In this program he takes a look at some of the most difficult aspects of modeling WWII aircraft and demonstrates in detail how to finish canopy frames, wheels, decals, natural metal effects and Luftwaffe colors. He also discusses the choice and mixing of paints and shows us the color shift scale effect and much more.

With our detailed menu and index it is possible to find all of Geoff’s impressive techniques at the touch of a button and the pause facility allows you to stop and savor the truly realistic results that he achieves.
