Very nice Medic - I do like those F.1s.

Went back and lightened the grey up some more. Looks a lot better now. Not to dark.

Had to fix one spot on top before I could start painting.

She's looking real nice. Are you airbrushing 2 different shades of grey on the undersides? I'm a bit lost at when you lightened the grey more. Trying to get an understanding on how you're doing this. I gotta find that brand of black primer though. It looks pretty easy to use.

The black primer you can find on Amazon.BlackSheep214 wrote:She's looking real nice. Are you airbrushing 2 different shades of grey on the undersides?

As far as the painting goes, I airbrushed Dark Gull Grey lightly but I needed to make another pass as the black was showing through too much for my liking.
