Are you using foam or paintgun?

Yes I use an old badger 150 dual action airbrush, the dual action allows you to regulate the flow of the air and paint at the same time, I don't do a lot of free hand with it but the spotting on the side of the 190 was done that way, I usually use a mask mask cut to what ever shape out of masking tape which I did on the wings and upper fusalage, I try and leave the edge of my mask up off the surface of the model maybe a millimeter or less this gives you defined yet somewhat soft edge.

Exceptional job!

Great work Jim.
Lovely paint job.

If you are getting the itch to get back into modelling, I highly recommend Promodeller,

Great bunch. Some incredible talents there, also beginners.
The vibe is positive, no rivet counters and no arseholes whose job in life is to never build or post a photo of anything...but just hijack threads and point out what everyone else is doing wrong...I hate those guys!

I would not be enjoying modelling so much without somewhere to post up pics of my finished work. The amount I have learned from modellers on that site in the last year has been phenomenal.

Anyway...your skills are very good indeed Jim, thanks for sharing.

Heck I am not going to bother posting in all of these.
Suffice to say this forum was a damn good idea
Well impressed

Well I am glad this idea has been received well.

I am the same, I am getting back into modeling after a 10 = year gap. I just want some where to post some pics and thought this was a idea, my wife makes them be relegated into the dark regions of the house, lol.

Thanks Jason I'll check it out, I agree about the arseholes, I build because I enjoy it and I enjoy the subject matter who cares if its not technically correct
