Getting a good metallic finish with a brush is really laborious. Painting the metal areas of the plane took me a whole day. Layer after layer of paint. With just the right dilution and leaving just enough drying time between layers so that the next one does not remove the previous one and they merge. With the airbrush it is much faster, but if you don't control it well you will get a grainy finish. I think that with a brush, in the right way, you get a super smooth finish. As good or better than the one achieved with an airbrush.
