Hand painting a large aircraft model is not easy. Brushes, no matter how hard we fight, tend to leave traces.
Couldn't see one in your model Shawn (@shbemo13) ! Great work!
I have a couple 1/32 aircraft to build, but I wouldn't dare painting them (one is Me 109-E/4/Trop, by Hasegawa, that I want to be as best as possible, and the other is one of those I don't know if I'll ever build it, a Dassault Mirage III, by Revell. A large bird. Not really my type these days) before I have an airbrush! Also need an airbrush for another flying bird, again on 1/32 scale, this one a Bell Huey Cobra Helicopter, by Revell once again.
Cheers!
