This one is the second out of the box the last being the Lancaster.
It's the first kit done by my new airbrush and I am pleased with the results took me three days as there were not many bits.View attachment 281449 View attachment 281450 View attachment 281451 View attachment 281452 View attachment 281453 View attachment 281454 View attachment 281455

Nice one. that new airbrush is seeing some action. I hope your cat doesn't stand still for too long, he'll end up with airbrushed spots or stripes........

 

[Gwyn]

Excellent looking model, well done

That's a very nice Hurri Peter! Looks as though you're really getting to grips with your airbrush

I'd either leave off the aerial wire or find a thinner replacement though coz that thread (?) really detracts from an otherwise excellent model.

I have ditched the original Ariel and replaced it with something thinner.View attachment 281467 View attachment 281468 View attachment 281469 View attachment 281470

That's much better Peter - one trick when using metal or plastic wire is to heat up a nail & pass it along the wire - being careful not to touch it!
The heat causes the wire to contract slightly, giving a nice taut look.

Great job Peter. You're achieving much better finishes with your airbrush.
