TreehuggerHrm, I have this Iwata HP-CS Eclipse 0.35 airbrush and I am stressing a little when trying to airbrush on some camo (without masking). I didn't want to use masking tape and I don't have any camo goo to spread over as masking either.
Like with my other attempt with this other tank I think I have to airbrush on desert yellow over the darker colors and try correct the shapes of the camo. The big part on the side and the wheels arent' glued on.
I've never done this before (I used masking tape the last time I worked on a tank), I think I have to make sure the Vallejo Air paint is thin, and then try lower the psi way below 20 psi and try get close to get a crisp line when airbrushing. And I don't want to take off my needle guard to get closer, as I don't want to bend the needle tip, again. 🙂
I didn't want to make a WIP album for this, just another side project.

TreehuggerQ: Might it be a good idea to draw on some lines for the camo pattern with a pencil, or will the pencil shine through the camo paint? Anyone tried that?

TreehuggerI think I can reply to my own question here.
I think one might as well use a single camo color to outline the pattern for all colors, and then because the paint is thinned out, the initial pattern will easily be covered with more layers I think. I wish I thought of this earlier. 🙂

gorbyI think the camo looks quite good. I've never been able to spray narrow or sharply defined lines that I see others doing so I can't help with that. I have tried using pencil but found I had to go well over the line to hide it completely as the edges of the spray aren't as solid/opaque. I only tried it once, I would do it again. When I need to have sharp edges on camo i usually use either Blu-Tac, masking fluid or brush painting if I'm feeling lazy (which is quite often 😳 ).

TreehuggerDoes blue-tac leave any fatty residue behind after being removed after a few days? I have a lot of blue-tac around iirc.

gorbyI just thought, some modellers consider White-Tac to be less oily than Blu-Tac. I've never had a problem with the blue one but if you are concerned it may be better to try the white version.
