Just a simple oob build that was supposed to be for the tweaker GB, but family commitments did me in. Painted i=with various rattle-cans that I had on hand, with decals from the spares.

Lemmie know what ya think!

My immediate thought was that red is intense, then i got distracted, again. Im sorry.

You're a mean machine with the brush, i dont understand why you dont get the airbrush out more often.

For the scale you build in, I think it is fantabulous. Is that a G-4? I see it has an Erla canopy. I like your mottling and decal applications.

The airbrush is a day long ordeal. I don't have a at painting area so i have to pack it up every time. Now that i no longer have to work weekends, air brushing is a bit more feasible.

This was sprayed with spraycans.Testors and krylon.

I have seen your airbrush work and your brush work and I think that with this particular color scheme (with motteling) your airbrush would have given you a better end result. It is a good build but I have seen you do better, like on the early 109 and FW-190.
But I must say that I understand your reasoning about the hassle using an AB can be. I did not touch my AB for three years for exactly the same reason. :oops:
