Well here we go, airbrushing for the first time

[MrChef]

You all! and you know who you are... Were sooooo Right! Airbrushing is a complete game changer. I'm addicted to this now. I want to paint everything. I think I'll paint one of my cats


Took all the bits off the KT. Wiped her down with alcohol. There was lots of pigments, dirt and dust on her.


Round 1

Thinned Tammy white with a touch of buff



Hairspray chipping is sooo much more fun this way




Round 2

Ammo/Mig washable white camouflage



and then I had to quit as am up early tomorrow.

You bet there's a round 3. I'll share updates soon.

Couldn't think of a better way to learn to use it than with winter whitewash camouflage.

Yes, indeed: in the fourth through seventh photos, you have the look of a Königstiger in March of '44 or '45. I like it!

[Meter rat]

Love the green mounting, for the wing.

Well known fact that KTs at full give would get loose in the backend. Downforce, downforce, downforce!

I'm still an airbrush hack but the control is crazy. No more rattlecan blasting out paint at instant drip volume with a full tank-width spray pattern. Nirvana, huh?!

This is addictive...

[HERMAN BIX]

Ahem!!
The term I told you so springs to mind !!
Good work that

[Pavel]

Looks like someone tried to burn the paint with a blowtorch...

[Ecam]

Ahem!!
The term I told you so springs to mind !!
Good work that

I too seem to remember some suggestions about trying out new things...

Nice work so far Chef!

[MrChef]

Ahem!!
The term I told you so springs to mind !!

I have no idea what you are referring to Sir...

Good work that

Thank you, this is actually good practice since I'm painting over it. But I've just decided that I'll be black basing going forward.
