Looking good on the camo Tom! Is there any particular reason that you went with multiple brands for the RAF camo colors, rather than sticking with just one brand?

Tom, I noted that you sometimes clean up your acrylics with Windex. I don't know what sort of airbrush you use, but Windex removed the chrome from the paint cup on my Paasche H. Oh, it took a while but sure enough, it left the inside of that cup looking like brass, and sort of rough to the touch compared to the new cup I got for a replacement. All that might not even apply to your use but it's somethng to be aware of.

Coming along. The camo looks sharp.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
