as i dont have a spray gun and never used one, to paint camo with a brush does it leave raised edges between different layers if you know what i mean

    chris

a little depends on how much paint goes on but never noticeable

this was painted with humbrol enamels and by hand

thanks that looks good

I,m a recent convert to a spray gun. Whilst the results IMO are better (I was never a good brush painter) it is a lot faster.

I've always used paints as i could never afford an air brush. I base coated with aerosol's then brushed. Remember, its always easier to add more coats of paint then it is to remove them, and if your not overly happy with the result, some weathering and detailing can always hide it and draw attension away from it. Thats only my opinion though

OR.. if I may add another option. Use spray cans. Not as daft as it sounds. All my tanks with the exception of the KT were done with cans. You just need to do some clever masking and go lightly with the coats and you can get some great results. Cut masks with tape or even use blue tac for wavy lines. Spray very lightly in mist coats so it never runs and most importantly go slowly dont rush. Much better than painting cos you will get a line. And finally remember to seal the paint job with spray varnish
