PlaStix Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Yes both finishes look great. I'm a brush painter too - I haven't even tried an airbrush and don't think I will anytime soon. Like you I occasionally use a rattle can but mostly for the final varnish coat. Keep up the good work. Edited July 29, 2015 by PlaStix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for all your kind comments guys. I'm a brush painter, never been able to get to grips with an airbrush, although I do occasionally use rattle cans and chuffed to bits with the results today. Even coverage & no runs.

Biggles87 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) That looks like a flawless paint job, except for the thumb print on the port wing root. Oh sorry, it was on my screen. Lol Edited August 1, 2015 by Biggles87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
