Just got the bideriva version, how did you do the camo scheme?

Jens Valkeneers
Great camo! Respect for the painting. I presume you are also active on Modelbrouwers?

Jan Voorbij
@ Paolo, I will explain that later. it's all brush painted.... Off to a party now 😉
@ Jens, yep I am!

Jan Voorbij
Oh, and I did the Bideriva too last year: Cant Z.1007 bis Alcione | Project by cupofwondering (1:72)

Now I'm looking for the newly moulded Aireone by Italeri.

Dieter Bihlmaier
Fantastic paintjob with your Cant Jan.

Paolo Marcucci
Jan: the Airone is already in my wishlist 🙂

Jan Voorbij
Paolo, Italeri just released a new version of the Aireone with a new tool and decals!

As for your question: I first painted the beast in desert yellow: 2 thin layers. I then started to work with olive green painting thin wrinkeling short green lines with a fine brush. After that I dotted the lines to make them in a irregular pattern. This took ages and I had to stop each time after an hour because I started to see blotches and dots everywhere 😉 Then I added the brown paint. After that I applied a thin layer of gloss varnish, applied the decals and finally secured it all with a sprayed a layer of matt varnish. The whole job took a lot of patience, but hey: I did it!
