Desert MarlinI wanted to use the Vallejo paints, I just don't have the feel for them yet. I used the Mr. Color paint and it seemed to go on well.

Mark SherwoodLovely looking Me- 109. Stopped using Vallejo for spraying, constant tip dry etc. Although their metallics seem to spray well 🤔

Desert MarlinMark Sherwood, yep, even with the "Flow Improver" it seems to still want to "grow" on the needle while spraying. I have found that no less than 50% mix works. Temperature and Humidity also seem to really affect it.

Desert MarlinI guess it finally happens! I have been doing the same. Making this get done feels very good! The shading looks great!

Jason MarsonThanks for your kind words Desert Marlin. I've had my airbrush kit for a little over 6 months and I feel that I'm finally starting to see progress in my ability. Onwards and upwards!

Desert MarlinIn my work I am still struggling with airbrushing Vallejo paints. The struggle is real!

Jason Marson@Desert Marlin are you using the standard or the Model Air paints? I'm using the latter at the moment and in the majority. I find they work just fine and the clean up is much easier than with the other paints I've been using which includes, MrColor (aqueous and lacquer paints), Hataka red caps, and Tamiya. Let me know and I'll see if I can help at all.

Desert MarlinI have noticed the same. I am using the Surface Primer (black and white) from Vallejo and find that helps a great deal. I have little trouble with the Mr. Color paints. I was always fond of the Gunze Sangyo paints as I felt they matched the actual colors (real life) rather closely. So the Mr. Color Aqueous has become one of my favorites. Right now, I agree that the Model Air (I used the US OD on my P-38) work very well. I have had some trouble with the "Model Color" variety as well. Thanks for your help! It's always welcome! Cheers!

The BlytonianNice. Enjoying the build?
Someday, fingers crossed. On my opportunity buy watchlist.

Desert MarlinYes! It's a great kit. I got one of the special edition with the white metal German Shepherd and the Ernst Rüdel figure. The combinations of parts between Jg 1 and Jg 2 are something to be mindful of however. There are several decals for the car parts so I'm still sorting through that. Time and care must be taken on the cockpit and the figures as there is a lot of posing and seating to be performed before everything is painted. And I am coming back to this one after having started it almost 15 years ago...

Danny RayThis looks fantastic. I'm a bit jealous because I'm planning a build with a Sherman III (in British terms), Crusaders and Stuart's, Matilda's, etc (though maybe not all at once. I don't think 2nd El Alamein had ALL allied tanks fighting, from every era?)
Anyway, the build is for a tribute to my old grandad who co-drove Crusaders and Shermans. His unit was 10th Royal Hussars and if you see the markings and paint schemes they used, it's the most plain out of them all. No camo whatsoever. Also, rather than the yellow tinged sand/stone colour used by most, they used a brown (think it's RAL8000).
In order to be accurate I'll do it in the correct colours but I'd have liked to camo it up!
(By the way I'm very much a novice and it'll take me a long time to attempt this. I have over 40 kits to practice on though 😳😍😁🤓😂)

Scott DuttonDon't worry about being a novice, just enjoy what you do, that way you improve
