    It is highly possible that the prop was field repainted, so no maintenance stencils, my friend @lis!

    NG Is better to make shades because it's darker paint. I think shades looks better on dark paints.

    @tcinla @mvtb @johnb @fiveten It takes me all night to made painting acceptable so applying the paint had to be a thicker layer to achieve the desired final shade. This Sand color was hard to paint because of the light shade and pre-shaiding are less visible (I hope You will see it). I have partially good Karma because I have idea to test new rough Sand paint as alternative to my C44 tan. It was horror because H346 paint had really Sand in paint! Dont use H346 Paint for any airbrush painting! Only for brush and weathering! My airbrush need to cleaning after this accident 🙁 luckily I didn't use it on the model and that was the partially good karma 🙂 I hope You like my C44 paint on my model.

    PS. I made my hobby calendar with kits that i build in 2021 🙂
