Re: thunderchief
and a little more
some more filling is needed and a good clean up but its starting to take shape now, finding it great relaxation to be back with the models . if i could just get rid of the beer belly things would be better .
any way a but closer to get some paint on . all the best Neil

Re: thunderchief
its mostly painting and decals left to do now so i feel like we are getting there now
Re: thunderchief
just a quick update , spending a bit of time trying the airbrush out to get the hang of it before committing to the model ( thinning being a bit problematic at the moment so might end up doing the thud in a natural metal Finnish just to get it done )All the best Neil

Do you not have a `practice` kit you can test on before spraying the 105?

Re: thunderchief
yes i am thinking of going down that route pick up a cheep kit to practice on
Re: thunderchief
OK slowly getting the hang of the airbrush and committed paint to model
a few things to fill but very happy the way it went on using life color paint . It needs a bit more practice but we are getting there with the airbrush , mixing seems to be the critical thing

Re: thunderchief
hi all , OK Slight halt on progress as im off too see the Mrs in Germany for 2 weeks (heavy snow there today) so will building snow men and drinking lots of German beer for a while. Need to go over the tan a little more as its a bit thin in places but all in all its starting to get there.
Have to say the compressor and airbrush kit is very good , gets 5 stars in my book and im sure with more practice will get a lot more out of it. Also very impressed with lifecolour paints.
So guten tag all and look forward to getting the thud finished .
Will say hello when i get to Germany
