Adrian LRThank you Augie and Alexander. Yes, I hand paint all my aircraft models. I had an airbrush some time ago, but now I'm on a "back-to-basics" stage. I'm having really great times painting without too much worries!!!

Alexander Grivonev"back to basics" is really a great approach. Maybe i should do this, too. Just glue, paint and no worries and i'm 10 years old again😉. I like it.

Steve WilsonYeah!!! I agree Adrian, it's nice to get back to painting basics, a good exercise in getting a great finish with a brush. I find a flat brush the best. Getting the correct paint consistency is also vital. Ironically I find the best consistency is the same as that as I use for Airbrushing, about the same as Milk.
You've got a great finish on this example Adrian...

Adrian LRIndeed it is very relaxing, however when you are a plastic modeler for such a long time (20 years) you are very perfeccionist, so even during this back to basics stage you try to do your best.

Steve WilsonYep! thats exactly right Adrian. That is what makes it an exciting exercise, trying to replicate an Airbrush finish with an ordinary Brush...

Finally finished. Very pleasent build, but such a terrible tailsitter. As usual hand painted using acrylics. Highly recommended as quick project.
