Rogue705 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Well, you live and learn. Carried out a magnified inspection of the airbrush (after replacing a bent needle) and the nozzle itself is damaged (jeez, these things are delicate) No wonder paint distribution was crap! (as well as my mixing 🙂) So, awaiting new nozzle then will resume (have also ordered a crown, so hopefully that will reduce drying needle tip) I thought this hobby was supposed to be relaxing lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hey Rogue. That is a great looking tank with a different paint scheme compared to lost Tigers with dunkelgelb as Base color. Maybe it would be a good idea to sharpen the yellow a bit, that would help it looking more in scale. Waiting to see your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Hmm, good question. I would say it is the ratio of blur and size of the snakes. With that size, the blur should be less noticable. Always looking from the perspective of a guy and his spraygun tuned to real size. Edited April 4, 2019 by Soeren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I’m about at that point with a p-61 I’ve been working on the past few months. These things happen tho! Are there any problems with the kit I should know about before I get started? I’m still a few months out from starting it as I have a few other things on the bench right now and a few more to get thru after those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue705 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 @RT Nevada. none mate, is a good build. My mistake using old and worn out paints that ruined the surface. In retrospect should have attempted to remove old paint, but aint retrospective great lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Nevada Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hindsight is always 20/20 haha. Good to know, thanks! I picked up some Vallejo parched grass from the local hobby shop the other day and it looks a little aged so I’ll probably try it out on my p-61 which is about to be my new test bed vehicle haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
