That is not too bad considering your early experiments,keep at it and things will improve stage by stage.

Good work with the camo. My test of camo skill/patience is forthcoming when I get the white underside of an AC47 done - the uppers have a 3 tone camo and i plan to use acrylics and enamels!

Thanks for the kind words on my first camo job. I was particularly pleased with the pre-shading, which looks quite good on the underside, though it's not really easy to see from the pics. Once I washed and weathered it, I hope it'll look even better.

Although it was bought as a hack, I've invested so much time and effort in this model, I'm really keen to get it looking good.

And Stuart, I am keen to read and see your efforts on your AC47, especially on the use of both enamles and acrylics.

Love Kelly's Heroes. The AC-119 Stinger in the gallery is also done with acrylics and enamals. I think the black is enamal and the camo acrylic.

That's an intersting-looking aircraft/model (I just looked in your gallery). Somehow the shape reminds me of Thunderbird 2.

Lovely paint job, as usual.

Yeah the '119's an "oddball" (pardon the tenuous connection lol) but a darned effective machine in its' day. Nice job!!

Noticed the Italeri C47 as well - same model as mine, minus the miniguns and a different cargo bay floor - some of the sprue is spare cos it's got the duplicated parts on it!!

Do any of you guys put Humbrol Mattcote through an airbrush? Mine kept blocking.

So I decided to apply a slightly thinned version by brush, but it's still got a "satin" finish - not really matt.

Well, I finished my Sturmovik. Please see my gallery pictures. Finished mainly in Humbrol and Revell colours, over a Halfords primer. Exhaust and gun stains were done with very thinned acrylics mixed to a mucky brown. Tried chipping again with a very brush and Humbrol aluminium - doesn't look very convincing to me. Fairly pleased with the rest of it though.
