If that is "free hand", you are wasting your money buying stencils. Great job.

Even if you use a rattle can or a spray gun ?
I'm expecting delivery of "222" stencils for my Tiger.
Tank looks great.

Apologies for if I'm derailing Andy, I've managed doing stencils on Zim without issues, I always mask around which helps hold the on and prevent overspray. Also keep your airbrush perpendicular to the surface you're spraying as this helps minamise any over spray getting under.
Andy your freehand work is amazing, you've even managed to get the varying thickness of the yellow border exactly the same on the 3s, hats off!

Very nice Tom , but it didn't help that my numbers go over the vision port which I think was the main problem Tom

I'm gonna have to second that, you've managed some really impressive hand-painting, Andy.

Mr Spartan, I reckon the 'meds' have done you the world of good................in a year your adventurous nature and skill set has improved out of sight.
A wonderful looking Tiger and a standing ovation for the free handed markings
(ahem, got any meds you can offload mate

)
