It looks good, I like your Kubel! Vytautas P.S. I might finish building my Kubelwagen in the future, but I still haven't been able to complete it. Your Kubel will be a good motivation for me...

The tank looks great, and the base does, too, I like those different colors and shapes of stones. Vytautas -
I don't think the Leveling Thinner is suitable for brush painting as it may dilute layers of paint that have already been applied. There are several talented brush painters on this forum, and @PlaStix is one of them. In this video, he talks about his method: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwdZtF_dpDY&t=50s Vytautas

I had similar problems before. I don't know what paint you use, but I noticed that it's easier to use Tamiya or Mr.Color paints for an airbrush, they always give a good surface and do not dry out on the needle. For Mr.Color paints and for Tamiya acrylic, I use Leveling Thinner from Mr.Hobby. This thinner is even better for Tamiya acrylic than the original x-20A thinner. I dilute the paint very much - about half or more and paint in several very thin layers with low air pressure. The Leveling Thinner has an excellent chemical composition - it contains a retarder, which prevents the paint from drying on the fly, and a thixotropic agent, which helps the paint level on the surface.

Loz Emhar 1/72 MkIV Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank (EM5001)

I think, painting an eye directly on the surface is much easier. For cases like this, I like using a thin Sakura Pigma Micron pen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHoysSHdhbs&t=3s) or something. It's easier than using a brush. I buy these things at the office supply store. Vytautas -
