That paint scheme looks awesome. I am getting hold of an airbrush and some red/brown this weekend, so will be either posting a happy photo of my new paint or fishing for a pro painter!!!

Hi Shane,it is a challenging scheme,and I am pretty good with my Airbrush,through trail and error but this one will be difficult.

I learned a very useful tool is a lead pencil,not only for the outlining of details but to ghost in the lines between the camo colors and shapes,this helped me a great deal to follow the pattern and to keep the color straight,marking each area with a letter.

It might be this weekend before I try this scheme,me and Ken looked through a hundred before He found this one on the Australian site. If I may be of some assistance please let me know. I was fortunate on my first to have a real pro guide me through it twice! Their really are some very skilled guys on our forum,thankfully,I;m not one but,i have done five now and picked up some basic skills.

Good luck,if possible try for a double action airbrush,better control. All the best.

Thanks SD, for the pencil tip! ;) I am looking forward to it, not least because my painting/modelling skills are non-existant now and this has given me something to try and get a small handhold on the hobby once again.

Stand by...!
