Howdy Jo,

First off, let me welcome you to the forum, I see you already found my thread on the Gripen
Ok, now on to your question about washes. I rarely wash anymore, not because i dont like the looks or have trouble with it, but like i said in the gripen thread, when i start, I work straight thru and usually finish up in 2-3 hrs. However, i do leave off alot of detail on these type builds, ie.....just plane white missiles no panel lines, no markings, then on the aircraft, no exhaust smudges etc. I just got out of the habit of doin it and now i just no longer do it.
But, since you asked, I thought I might point you to some information on the web, not to detract from what anyone in here might reply with, but a detailed page of "how to's". So, click on this link---> Panel Line Washes .
For other tips on washing and weathering, airbrushing etc, you can look through the "techniques and tips" section of this site----> Scale Modeling Links .
I hope these are of some help to you and i look forward to seeing your work soon.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GEEDUBBYA (GW)
