Re: Me-323 gigant italeri 1/72
Looking good so far. I agree that multiple coats will cover the discrepancies. I also think you may be right about the airbrush, but it does go on so smooth and even with one. Still, you've mastered the brush painting so keep going man. and as one who has built a couple 1/72 scale B-52's a B-36, a DC-6, all three V-bombers among others; I can relate about the difficulties in turning that around without hitting anything during painting.
Keep plugging along man!

LOL and these problems are not solved by an airbrush waiting for better times to evalue an airbrush but after this giant (actually the largest by wingspan in my stash..) it's just normal administation with others...

More updates , he arrives at the part of build tha normally i press on the subject till the end .
65 again, wings almost done with it, out of few corrections, also fuselage received a first layer but in the bottom part totally removed paint after another sanding hard session to improve some "die hard " putty trace
flaps, 2nd or 3rd layer.. i lost the count
After an hal hour 65 dry and i can handle the beast for the second upper session of medium green.. hard to believe (humbrol 116) this green have less coverage power tha the 65 horizontal rudders that looks fine received 3 layers!
Engines covers received their first green, i hope the splinter scheme will leave them out of other masking game.
As you can see i painted the fuselage in 65 too, but this colour jus touch about two millimeters of side fuselage, i want to have a larger surface to try blend colors with drybrush tecnique , also in some parte the scheme incluse some mottling
At the next!

She's coming along real nice! That's a neat technique for mottling.

Thanks guys
Long session last night, not in picture but under yellow i did two white layers.
Yellow first layer
waiting for yellow drying i worked on wings structure, cleaned and glued on a sprue and two layers of 65 withouth primer
First splinter on left side of gears cover, on the other side no darker green is needed
Second yellow layer in the same session
And started the upper splinter with humbrol 91, masking and painting at same time
At the next

Wow, that is just fantastic. You pit multiple layers on. How do you think your paint?
