All the colors in this kit sprays good straight out after a good shake . I find in some kits the darker colors pack pigments , so it can need a dropp ore 2 of thinner, but not in this one

That paint chip effect is spot-on.
Would love to see the finished tank.

Ok , lets see what I have done the last week

Filters and slight start on getting the weathering started
Filters first. Apply, and then I like to use a large soft brush to work it in/blend it over the area

Maxmekker,

I must say that you seem to have really mastered this whole "airbrushing weathering thing"! The chipping effects and subtle changes to the paint's shading is amazing! Beautiful job! :clap:

Regards,
Eric.

This tool is very interesting. Can you tell us what it's called and where to buy it?

Am I wrong if I think you use it to give a slightly lighter color on the same color previously applied?

Kind regards
