Nowadays, the F-22 Raptor has an engine that alows a sustained supersonic cruiser speed In just 2 century technology has made a quantum leap: from the Dr. 15 km/h (52 mph) to the Raptor's Mach 2.85 (2,910 kin/h ~ 1360 mph). Wehave to keep in mind all these changes and advances when working on our scale model engines. Oil and fuel spills were @ common occurrence in older mods, in addition to frequent low maintenance standards by inexperienced personnel. Besides these weathering effects we can add all Kind of chips, dents and scrat- ches, and even rust maiks, With the passing of time, new more complex engines were developed using new materials, and although these effects haven't cisappeared completely, they do have changed significantly With the advent of jet engines, damages -although stil present: are now different. We can stil observe grease end oil stains, as wel as rest of other fluids. But its ciffcult to find engines showing scratches and dents, On the contrary: the challenge is to reoresent the burnt metal effect caused by the hich tempera tures generated by jes. New key elements we'll have to work with great care are the engine nozzles. It's quite common to see them acquiring many different and interesting shades: golden, bluish, copper, etc Ths creates lots of weathering opportunities for our models, We'll lso have to correctly depict the new. high-tech materials used, lke the ceramic coatings in the interior of turbines. In this iste we'll go over all these aspects, so you can learn which tools and materials to use to achiove the Afferent effects.

Throughout history, the di- fferont characteristics of alreraft have been steadily impro- ving, and in most cases these advances have been linked to 6 / THEWEATHERING AIRCRAFT / ENGINES the development of naw types of engine which made the planes faster, more maneuverable and more reliable. For us modelers, working on engines should be seen as an integral part of the model, which requires the sameattention and care than the other elements. Exposing an aero engine means an extra step forward in quality and can set apart our model from the rest: This forces us to search enough references, although in many cases this is not an easy task. ‘At the beginning of aviation history engines ‘were relatively simple affairs. Many of the- ‘se early designs left all or large portions of ‘the engine exposed, which forces us to detail and paint them. While doing this we'll need ‘to keop present the materials used and the rudimentary nature of these early engines; for example, oil and fuel spills were a com- mon sight that altered the original colors sig- nificantly. In addition to that, open engines meant that dust and rainwater would accu- mulate fairly easily. But during WWII manufacturing methods and materials changed, leading to the famous ra- diel engines, with multiple cylinders arranged in circular rows, as well as inline types con- sisting in a compact block made of different metals. One of the main features of the air- craft of the era was that they were pushed to tthe limit by most air forces, because the diffi- culties in keeping the necessary maintenance procedures in some theaters of the war, as ‘well as the tough demands exacted by pilots from their mounts during the bloody aerial ‘duols so commen in that conflict. ‘After WWII piston engines were gradually re- placed by jets... meaning that the rules chan- {ge once more time for us modelers. Now we need to represent much more complex devi- 9s, and especially the affects of the vary high ‘temperatures they are exposed to. If we were focused depicting dirt, grime and oil before, now the main challenge we face modeling ‘this new type of engine is reproducing the different metallic shades generated by the heat and exhaust gases. Although there still are dirt and grease present, they aren't as no- ticeable as in older models due to the more precise construction and better maintenance practices of the ground crews. Nonetheless, a Weathered appearance with many different ‘tonal variations it's indeed a common sight ‘on the cowlings of jet aircraft. ‘When working on engines, we have to keep firmly in mind the era, location and condition (of the individual aircraft, We can’t compare a machine belonging to a jot display team like ‘the Blue Angels with other operated by an Air Force of a country in contral Africa with vory little in terms of maintenance, exposed to hard climatic conditions and few flight hours. ‘Those differences allow us a wide range of ‘options when painting our scale engines. It ‘can be depicted as newly installed, be it a brand new aircraft or a replacement, or even THE WEATHERING AIRCRA\ IGINES 78 | THEWEATHERING AIRCRAFT / ENGINES mounted in a stand. At the other end of the sce- le, we can represent a derelict piece with chipped paint, rust, moss and wet effects... even an engine rotting away in the seabed with barely recognizo- ble shapes. For the more adventurous, aircraft engines are also the perfect excuse to create small scenes and dioramas; a common expedient consists in recrea- ting a workshop with figures, the building itself, support vehicles and, of course, our main protago- nist: the aircraft.Tn the late 300 of the 20th Century, several German started to show interest in the concep! of jet aircraft.
