Well I've actually tried it on a 1:35 Tiger 1. I mixed about 1 part linseed oil and 3 parts paint thinner to the oil wash. It looked good after. The only drawback I have learned here is that it takes several days (3) to completely dry. And the finish looked wet. So what I did was to apply a coat of Testor's flat clear and the glossy surfaced was altered. I really dont know if this method works. Hope someone here has tried it. Here are pictures of the Tiger 1 which I washed with ivory black and raw umber oils using Linseed Oil mixed with paint thinner. It belongs to Jeff, my good friend:
