I did the Tamiya 1/48 Mk1 and it was really enjoyable as well to build. Temptation once you start is to crack on as it's such a nice looking plane. This is a good one and I assume brush for camo ? I'm torn between brush and airbrush for this sort of camo and have tried both. I think I prefer the brush approach as a nice informal pattern can be done, with airbrush for primers and base coats.

All my painting is by brush because of my health unfortunately .

Hi managed to get the panel lines all weathered I used to Andy's idea watercolours seems to work I'll let you lot decide, now just gotta let it dry and then I can give it a dull coat.

Hi Pete
That weathering has work very well. I think Richard F also favours water colours for panel lines.

Cheers Jim it's the first time I've tried it out, as Andy had a good result thought I would have ago, I'm pleased with the outcome, I knew there was someone else who uses this method but couldn't remember who.

Jim is right Pete. I'd love to take the credit but I blatantly stole borrowed the idea from Richard. Looks good though and something I'll be using again in the future.

Nice one Pete, If you pop over to the Peterborough show post I think JR. posted one of your Minions in his flight gear already to test fly your latest creation. Also there are lots of Toon Tanks to check out. Cheers, Rick H.

Hi Andy I couldn't remember who did it, I just remembered you trying and thought I would give it ago it's a bit heavy on the under side might clean a bit more of.
