This is very nice, great scheme. Is this the 1/48 or 1/72 scale?


No matter what the size you have done a stupendous job. Congrats

Just noticed I posted this in wrong area, apologies all. It is 1/72 scale, and hand painted, as unfortunately I do not own an airbrush, wish I did.

At this scale and with camouflage pattern an airbrush would have complicated matters with masking up etc. The finish you have achieved is awesome especially with a hairy stick.


Airbrushes come in to their own when used on larger areas especially with the cheaper ones, the higher price end ones can give great results with fine lines and close up touch ins.


Have a look at everythingairbrush.co.uk they do some good airbrush sets, I would highly recommend the purchase of a compressor too, I used to use aerosol airbrush cans and even spare tyres, a compressor is invaluable!
