Glad you liked it mates! I chose the kit because of the box art. I saw the camo and instantly wanted to build this plane.

stunning. what was your procedure/setup to make sure the airbrush would behave properly, as in, no spatting, etc? that looks like you need great confidence in your airbrush and airbrush skills

Thx guys!

Never a pro: this is a topic you could write chapters about but I can give you the most essential tips from my experience:

-Filter the paint through some fine sieve or mesh before filling your airbrush, this prevents little clumps that are always present clogging your nozzle
-Use paint drying retarder, same as above plus it gives the paint more "elasticity" and makes the application more smooth

Spraying a camo pattern like this is a fine balance between air pressure, paint volume, paint viscosity and many other factors. As already mentioned you can write chapters about it but in the end it culminates to: practice, fail, try again, practice....

Looks like someone can handle his airbrush with considerable proficiency.
