PAINT MULE: The Modellers Unsung Hero
We probably all have one and I constantly use mine to try improve myself with things such as mottling and free hand camouflage with left-over paint in the airbrush cup. It's now been eight years since I start using an airbrush and I'm still a complete noob. I found this video that has now changed the way I airbrush. Most probably already know this stuff but after watching this video it gave me the confidence to try free hand camo on my mule using left over white paint. Not perfect but its the best I've ever done. The video...
Feel free to post your mules here; there are probably some pretty colourful ones
Thanks for sharing the video, George @blackadder57
Very informative. Your paint mule shows some really good results.
Excellent video, George!
Thanks for sharing!
Only 8 years, George? I've been studying the black art of the airbrush since 1972 and still learn new things. 🙂
I'm right there with Tamiya paints & Mr. Thinner and I just learned some excellent tips. Great video, George, thanks for the link!
Nice one George, thanks for sharing.
I threw out my last full mule (Academy F4U-4B) a few years back. Now I have a couple of Spitfire wings and an unused Gannet wing to test paint on.
@j-healy This is what my mule originally looked like but I couldn't finish it due to the nose art

That’s cool!
Great idea for a post George. Here's a couple of mine:
The "50 Shades of Gray" Heinkel He 100 by Lindberg (for comparing paint colours)
The airbrush tester Hawker Tempest II by Matchbox.
Keep up the great work.
