Neo,
The scalloped pattern looks great so far.
What brand of paints did you use.
They appear to have went on very smooth.
Keep the pics coming!

Gary,

I use Plaid acrylics (from craft stores). Have had good luck w/ them and cheap (50 c / 2oz bot.). Mix 50 / 50 paint & distilled water. I add few drops of rubbing alcohol and a drop of dish detergent. I run about 25-30 psi.

I put down about 5-6 light coats of each color on the Hetzer.

Got to love them, although I don't use them on my models, I use them for 99% of my ground work. You just need to get use to some of the more .... errr ... unusual names...... :-)

Neo,
Thanks for the mix info on the acrylics. I use a brand called Anita's ( about 80¢ each) on some of my stuff but I've never airbrushed them.
After seeing yours I'm going to try it. Thanks!
Keep us updated..I really like the Hetzer so far!

Grumpy,
"Rouge", "Carmel Corn", "Latte" .......Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
:-) :-) :-) :-)
