There are videos up on YouTube that do a great job of explaining it. It’s great when done well, but a little goes a long way. Chipping was a new technique I learned when I came back to the hobby. Didn't need a lot of water to do the chipping. I tried to spray the mix from a single direction to let some of the pre-shading to work. The Painting flow I used to get this chipping done: Alcad aluminum->chipping fluid->Dark Green weathering preshade->mix of yellow and green (their cockpit color) as directed in the instructions. Remember…this is your model…your artwork. Technically speaking just take your time, use a magnifying headset to get the details right and as you gain experience you can add details found in magazines, historical documents etc…or just wing it. It just sucks you in to some imaginary place where you’re the pilot and the clouds await your arrival (dreamer…I know). There’s something about looking into a tiny cockpit and seeing the tiny switches, a well-placed set of seat and shoulder harness and a clear canopy/windows. Time and effort here can lead to a great model afterwards. In airplane model making the primary places to show detail are the engine and the cockpit.
