I have a Badger 200, however I usually hand paint hard line camo, using the airbrush only for the base color. I will experiment on a box before painting using your tips. Your build looks great/real. The figures should be fun as well. Tedious, but worth it for this kit. Isn't it a fantastic kit, I couldn't pass it up. Luckily I bought it about a year ago, delivered for $103. I just finished the Revell Herman Marwede which is quite a ship model as well. Its large, and a good bargain as wellWilbur Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609122420108662016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385070402644667612.post-63320143770985893332009-04-05T12:06:00.000+01:002009-04-05T12:06:00.000+01:00Hi Wilbur, thanks for your comment, good to hear f...Hi Wilbur, thanks for your comment, good to hear from you.

Did you pre-shade before airbrushing? Did you brush paint the camo? You have achieved a camo effect that is not too contrasty (the black for instance) Any chance you could share your techniques? Is there a wash or overspray to tone down contrast to look like reality?<BR/><BR/>Great work. Thanks for any tips.
