Finally, after so manny years I decided to try the airbrush technique!


I chose this amazing Academy kit for this. It will end up with a diorama. All I need is the figures. But , please, don't be too hard with me after my first attempt in airbrush ing ! The fact is I was surprised how much it counts when you are painting modern tanks. And a had a shot with one of my Panther tanks. Quite happy with the result!here are the steps I have done by now:View attachment 155068 View attachment 155069 View attachment 155070 View attachment 155071 View attachment 155072 View attachment 155073 View attachment 155074 View attachment 155075 View attachment 155076

I am sorry but I am going to be very hard on you. If this is your first serious airbrush work, we are in for a treat later. That is 100 times better than my first attempt, in fact it is better than I get now at times. Well done Catalin, that looks spot on

Thank you for you kind words! It is not ready yet. Still have some weathering to do, plus the figures, the trucks. I found sort much more acurate and smooth then paint brush. But I will never give up my old fashion stile. My son love airbrush ing. So it was a good investment for his pleasure and mine.

I think a few chips maybe using German camo black brown added here or there with a piece of sponge and light weathering around the wheels. All in all very impressive my friend.

Yes it is. This is the first modern tank I ever built, all my tanks were we2 tank s so I used paint brushing with success. I said before I will never use an airbrush but I was wrong!
