Thanks AH: The revetment wall is from a couple of Noy`s Minatures Vietnam back drops, I just cut them off and stuck them on some plastic sheet. the sky is just the top half of a wall poster pasted onto some cardboard.

I can`t take any honours for airbrushing though, it`s `hairy sticked` as usual. Cheers Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Very nice indeed. I can understand your "thing" for Skyraiders. I've built four in the distant past, and currently have six in the stash! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 5 hours ago, Hobo said: Wow! How did you create a soft feathered edge with the camoflage? I did it with a small, chopped off, stiff, synthetic brush and applied paint, not quite drybrushed with a dabbing/stippling action. Hope that makes sense.

Don Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I'm always amazed by your brush work Russ. Your results with a brush are better than my attempts with the airbrush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigbeale Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Truly amazing result. Saw a documentary about the Skyraider recently - now I have a lot of respect for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
