Vladimir Kafkaguys...thanks for all that flattering praise, but the model is from November 2014, long ago finished. I just didn't post the photos here, but I will, to avoid confusion I guess 🙂 thanks again.

DutchAgain, a beautiful model. I too built the older ESCI release, but I didn't paint it as nicely as you did. I was only young then. Parts have since broken off. I may revisit this one now that I see your excellent work. North American F-100D Super Sabre: RDAF | Project by Dutch (1:72)

Patrick HagelsteinThat's why I put a Trumpeter one on my wishlist. In the green livery they look so scruffy and you nailed that look dead on! Excellent! I hope mine will just look half as nice as yours.

Vladimir Kafkathanks, but to be honest, it could be done so much better, with more accurate and defined outlines of the "postshading". This was made with far less experience than I have now, suboptimal paint choice and de facto a single action airbrush (Hansa 381). Anyhow it was lot of fun to paint and if nothing else, it had a great training value for me.

Soeren R.It still looks nice and btw the Hansa 381 is no single action😉, it's a controlled double action gun😉

Vladimir KafkaSoeren, thats why I wrote "de facto" 🙂 if it's controlled and not independent, for its user it means it's de facto single action...even though the results might be better than from a pure single action AB - sure.
anyway since I first tried Iwata HP-BH, Hansa got relegated just to surfacer and varnish spraying for good... 🙂

Soeren R.True, it feels like kind of a single action.
I must say that Im quite happy with my Hansa 281, which I bought last year (for larger surfaces and for AK/Vallejo colors).
For everything else I use my Evo😉, which sadly isnt really working with Vallejo colors etc.....

Vladimir KafkaI can imagine that. I tried to make Vallejo work in an airbrush for so long. In the end I maybe got half-decent results, but for the cost of frequent airbrush cleaning, and all that alchemy searching for proper thinner and ratios and stuff... Gunze and Tamiya are idiot proof = ideal for me😉 I still have large arsenal of Vallejo for paintbrushing though.

Soeren R.Thats the same for me😉
Tamiya and Gunze are perfect for a beginner like me and I used them for all of my kits so far, with one excepton - the engine cowlings of my P1Y1. For those cowlings I used the AK color and it ended it some kind of a little battle between me and the color 😛 - Luckily I won in the end, but Ive still a lot of those colors in my stash.
