Cheers!
That’s a damn good looking brush job!

If you hadn't told me it was brush painted I would not have known. Well done. I certainly can't do that. :bow:

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

LOL! :grin: Thanks Gents - much appreciated!

It's still looking pretty rough. The Green has only had one coat and the 2nd coat of brown needs a bit of wet sanding before I add a third.

Cheers!

Very nice! It looked as if you airbrushed the camo scheme.

Thanks Tom.

I have to say that I do really enjoy brush painting, but having finally got going with my airbrush I really want to get better with that skill too - It'd be nice to get to a position where I can do both well.

Got this old Mono kit fished as well last month - I was pretty pleased with it.

Once again brush painted with Hataka and Humbrol acrylics. The clears were Mr Super Clears (my go-to at the moment) and the decals were from the Xtradecal 'Yanks with Roundels' sheet.
