This is the second kit I've completed since coming back to the hobby after a long break. It has a number of 'firsts' for me, including:
- First time using an airbrush
- First time using acrylic paints
- First time masking a canopy (using the Eduard mask) instead of painting bits of sellotape and sticking them on
- First attempt at weathering (very light touch this time - just a Flory wash to accentuate the panel lines and dirty up the underside a bit, and some of the Tamiya Weathering Master for the exhaust stain).
The transfers are by Xtradecal - I wanted to make an example with lots of yellow, rather than using the kit transfers.
Overall I'm pretty pleased - it's a great improvement on my previous effort (not posted on here!), and I look forward to improving more and trying out some different techniques in future.
Thanks to those on this forum who have offered their advice on airbrushing - it was invaluable and much appreciated.
