Flashman Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 So I was in Westfield Shepherd's Bush and saw the modelzone corner in WH Smiths which I had forgotten was there! Needless to say I went in, had a look, and got the new tool AV8 which I had been intending to get around to building, being a big harrier fan. I liked the look of the Spanish scheme so ended up doing that. I used Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan for the upper side and XF-2 Flat White for the underside. I brush painted using the thin paint-large brush-lots of coats method and I think it turned out OK. I went for a clean job to bring out the transfers which I thought were rather nice! 9

Flashman Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Cheers all- it's my first ready for inspection post and I must say I was a bit nervous as to what feedback I would get but you all certainly put that to rest! Cheers.
CurrantBunbury Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Nice job! Your brush painting looks really smooth. It's always good to see a less common scheme, too. 1

jean Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 To brush paint Tamiya paints in a smooth way is no mean feat, believe me! My gospel is: Humbrol, yes. Tamiya never! So congrats for a great job! JR 2
