I'm new to the hobby and absorbing info as I go. Working on my third war bird Tamiya 1:48 scale Wildcat. Previous to that Corsair and Bf 109. I experimented with salt chipping on the Corsair and I think it came out pretty good. I want to try out another chipping effect on the Wildcat though. I've seen guys use silver pencils and tap away but is there a product or technique that works better. I've also tried dry brushing but find that it is too much for exterior chipping effects. I prefer subtle to excess. I still like to build like the birds have been in combat and not just rolled out of the factory. As a WWII history buff I notice that much of the chipping occurs at the wing roots and on raised ridges and in areas in which ground crew are doing a lot of opening and closing and maintenance. Is there a video or 2 you can recommend.  ;D

Thanks.
