Recommended Posts

Juat another Beaufughter, nothing too fancy and OOB build from the Airfix kit, getting a littlw bit more practice with the airbrush and basic weathering, need to get the canopy masking a bit better.

Don't worry so much about what you got wrong, build on what you got right. 😎

 

You're doing well with the airbrush and masking; both are a lifelong never-ending journey of learning and frustration, so enjoy the win of a presentable completed model.

Nice job on the Beau, if you are using acrylics  you can make adjustments to the canopy frames by scraping excess paint off with a cocktail stick.

Well said and absolutely true. A very nice model. And yes, masking can be a challenge ... it definitely still challenges me.

If you briefly dip the cocktail stick in alcohol you may get a better result. This helps to prevent the paint cracking off the frames but softens and removes the tiny bits on the 'glass'.
