Base tone is done. Now for the mentioned worms

Your wrist must be aching like hell! How many hours did it take to finish this so far? What airbrush did you use?

[mostrich]

Hi Thomas!

I did it in four sessions of about fourty minutes each to avoid cramps. I'm using my good ol' Gabbert Triplex, in this case with a 0.25 mm needle. It combines all you can expect from a German tool - simple construction, great handling and easy maintenance.

Lovin' it!

Man that is absolutely beautiful. Resplendent. Well worth the effort.

Thank you, Jim. Both for your heads up and offering me this new way!

Coincidentally the exact opposite experience of what I had with my BMW...

Yeah, since they're producing in Spartanburg SC, the quality decreases rapidly...

Earnestly, since German car producers try to compete with low cost countrys, they've thrown some principles over board. From the big players I think Audi's the one that held its high standards. To ridiculous prices, though.

......moved on to a Merc...been much better.

Good decision!

[Handiabled]

Splendid work indeed. A really good airbrush can't do it alone! Awesome work so far !

Pulled her out of the waiting loop last weekend to throw that crazy field applied camo on. RLM 82 and 83 in thin lines.
Millions of them.

Not my cleanest work up to now, but they were painted with an airgun in the woods, so I'll leave it like it is...
