So we have another scalemate successfully using Revell Aqua with an airbrush gun... Well done!
I have a question concerning the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color as I have that stuff as well but I am a bit hesitated to use it:
Did you seal the model with future / gloss varnish and let it flow in or did you use the little brush and "brushed" the lines? Hope you understand what I mean... 🙂

Thanks all, Kerry, sometimes i just fell that I go too far with my "preshading projects" but I just love to play with my airbrush 🙂 this ones I tested the "Mondrian style". I´m going to post here some pictures of my Horten 229, it also had being undergoing some funny preshading work with wood simulated underneath.
Matthias, thanks a lot for the interest, I have full range of Revell aqua, because it is half price of tamiya and very avaliable at the time wen I started to buy, looked as a bargain, but just recently I found out how to use them efectively, I am even changing them from that horrible blue bottles and puting into eyedrop bottles in the Vallejo style, works much better.
for the tamiya, this pannel line accent color are enamels, they do not atack acrylics in any way, but I am not sure about the decals so I prefere to seal it (it also can flow around the step between the decan and the plane so coating it with varnish will diminish this risk), the glossy it is, the better it flows, in my case, I like them to stick a little more so I can do some efects, much like a filter, so I use future (pledge wax) or the humbrol clear (the big bottle with 125 ml that is exatly like future) and I added one drop of tamiya flat base XF-21 for each 10 drops of future and aply it lightly in thin misty coats this alows it to flow over the lines but is still sticky so I can manover it using soft brushes and lighter fluid.
I used the dark brown and the black, the black is only used where was supose to have gaps and see trough, like around the control surfaces, so it simulate shadow and darkness of empty spaces, the dark brown is used for everything else, I think I´m gonna buy the brown color so I can vary the shade in the future.
That was long. I hope I answered your question, much of this theories I´m just testing so do not belive me 100% ok 😉

Cesar, I do believe you are creating your own private air force mate. LOL.
I am please to tell you I have finished my 229 and I will be posting the finals as soon as my ITP sorts out the damage done by a MASSIVE electrical storm we had here on New Years Morning at 01.30 in the morning. So be patient as there will be the images posted as soon as I can.
