Nah, it's dark primer, base shading the panels, then a thin top coat! Kinda like black basing I guess? I'm still getting the hang of airbrushing and have to focus on not covering up all my shading work... :headslap:

I hear you on not covering up your shading. Since I switched to a nice dual action airbrush that has been going much better for me. What kind of a setup are you using?

Im using a simple Paashe H and a little airbrushing compressor. Nothing fancy.

I did find a no-name, dual-action AB on clearance at a local hardware store, So I picked that up and started playing with it. Best I can tell, It seems like a knockoff Badger 150...I took it apart and now I cant seem to get it back together correctly! One of the club guys said they will help me out at the next meeting, so I just have to remember to bring it. :bag:

Maybe YouTube? I have a 150 and I still have occasional trouble. F6F looking good, too!
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!"..
