Okay...here is my dilemma....

King Tiger all built and ready for paint. New airbrush, new compressor. First serious double action airbrush, first compressor. Dark yellow base coat goes on like a dream. Thinned down, several layers. Yew beaudy.

Hull Red camo 'blotches' doesnt exactly go down right cos I had waaay too much psi and my paint wasnt thinned down enough. So i have too much overspray for my liking. That problem is at least has a solution im working on.

Do I:

(A) spray the wole damn thing Hull Red (which is what KTs were undercoated with post 1944) and start again with several thinnned layers of yellow.

(B) Somehow remove the red blotches

(C) Throw my airbrush, compressor and KT against the wall, pretend thay are the Italian football team and swear at them profusively and threaten to never ever look at another kit ever again; forever knowing that an inanimate object has once again got one over me.

(D) Any other suggestions that my brothers-in-resin-cast-arms can help me with.

Having decided which option to go with, how do I go about doing it (applicable to A, B&D only).

I am really spending waaaay too much time asking stupid questions on this forum.

A.

Simply reload your yellow base color and sharpen up the edges of the red.
When doing the edges of a pattern, get the tip way down close and personal and aim into the color rather than at a 90 degree angle tothe surface.

Al is right on the money. What you may want to try also is to take some dark grey, add a couple drops to the red brown, and then ouline the red sploches. This is called post shading, and if done with restraint, gives good effect.

God i love this forum

thanks guys...ill let you know how i go
