I tried my luck on the camo paint today. As you can see the brown paint was not properly done, I left out the masking which is a mistake.
What I am having an issue with is I can make thin lines with this 0.45 needle. It's the ULTRA from H&S.
I made certain the needle is not clogged, used two drops of flow improver over 10ml mr hobby and Ultimate thinner used 15Psi on finest airbrush setting. Need still more practice with it, anyone have some advice? I was on some strokes too stationary, hence the splashes ?
Will try to fix this in the next days…..

Redone the masking and camo paint. The mix was too much thinned yesterday. Seems for my ULTRA the ratio is a bit less then 1:1 for mr hobby aqua and Ultimate thinner…
