Very spectacular job Jim. Really nice painting and the weathering looks just right. Thanks for sharing your painting pics. Jim you should make a feature article on how you did this. Nice work.

Good step by step pics Jim. Did you mask the camo or did you do it freehand?

Hi there.
Many thanks to all for kind words. I have admired the work shown on this site for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to make a post!

Hi there again Pat,
The camo was done freehand using an aztec A470 airbrush. I have just recently bought an iwata HPCH and boy do I wish I had it when doing this camo, what a difference.

Cheers, Jim
