Hi Guhei

That is an interesting link that you have posted. Was the link translated from German into English ? If so, what translator engine did you use, because it seems very good

this is the airbrush kit i got plus sprayed jp matt black now i have to practice with the airbrush and i got a new camera now im broke

Hi Chris,

Why did you paint the JP black?
What camera did you buy, I have a Canon PowerShot A580, a Canon Powershot A530 and a Canon PowerShot A60. A further Camera is a Pentax EI 200. I bought it when I was to Ireland in 2001...All cameras are still working.
My airbrush is a Güde "Profi" but I prefer my homemade airbrush from a refrigerator motor. All my ship models were airbrushed with that one.

Hi Gunnar

Well he did an excellent job translating that. Its a pity he could not rework the Babel fish translator engine.

I think it looks great,you have done a smashing job.
It's great when you get that first bit of colour on your tank,it starts to bring it to life.
I'm relatively new to the airbrush way of things also,and it does seem quite daunting to start with.However the more I use it the more comfortable I have become with it.I need more practice though,but I feel I'm learning more all the time.

The Jagdpanther is a difficult tank to paint using an airbrush due to the size of the upper hull panels.
But it looks like you've got your base coat spot on Chris, well done.

An excellent job with your airbrush! You've given me hope for when I finally pick up one for the first time, lol.  Im very much looking forward to seeing your Jagdpanther finished.
Cheers,
