Harry_the_Spider Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 After the failure of airbrushing this... I'm going to have a go at this... It only cost £3, but already I care too much about it to sacrifice it to The God of **** Painting! Will spray the Invasion Stripes too as the decals are massive and very, very old. I found some bonus vehicles too in the stash! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Airbrushing failure? Doesn't look half bad to me, aren't you being a bit harsh on yourself there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_the_Spider Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Cockpit somewhat lacking in detail. Gun ports drilled and filed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 A small amount of scratch built detail in the cockpit. But no point in going overboard as the canopy is thick enough to bend time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Beating it into submission. She's a Filler Queen! There's definitely a B.S.O. (Beaufighter Shaped Object) in there somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Invasion stripes and grey done. Masked ready for the green. Will have to wait until tomorrow though as my wiggly worm Blu-Tac has disappeared, but coincidentally my daughter has put a load of posters up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Here we go... Tah-Da! To say that I'm ridiculously pleased with myself would be an understatement! There is a bit of touching up to do, but compared to the last effort it is minimal. The difference was that I used much less thinner in the paint so it went on almost dry, and that I tried Blu-Tac worms to get a soft edge. The engines are only tacked on, so I'll pop them off and detail them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) That looks pretty good to me. I too am new to airbrushing and found these pretty useful as guides. Airbrushing and Finishing Scale Models (Modelling Masterclass) by Brett Green and particularly this Airbrushing Scale Model Aircraft by Robin Carpenter both bought on for my kindle (haven’t done paper books in many years) Edited February 12, 2020 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Touch-ups done. This was supposed to be a paint mule that I was going to try all sorts of weathering on, but I've grown too fond of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Looking good for attempt #2. When I started with an AB 4 years ago I chose to do single colour aircraft just to get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 I've had one for a couple of years, which coincided with my "grey jet" phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
