    This is how the camo came out, tried hataka paints first, where really not working - too dry and not spraying then all of a sudden spluttering out very heavy and spidering, changed back to Tamiya and worked so much better. Decided with the soft line came to Freehand and wow, so much respect to freehand airbrushing. That was tough - my trigger finger was so sore as well. haha, but I'm very happy with the result.

    Weathering done on the floor and underside, tried sponge chipping and I must say, I really like it, its a lot more accurate and controlled that the hairspray chipping. Had lots of fun.
