I've removed all the masking tape and am pleased with the way it's turned out.Next step is a couple of coats of gloss clear coat followed by the decals.

i like the nice softness of the patten, between the 2 colors, i know it has sharp line ,but think you know what i mean,

well done

That's looking good Dave. With the gloss clear coat is it the Humbrol one if so do you dilute it? If you do what ratios do you do?

I have a build I am doing at the moment and want to use some on it. Having never airbrushed with it I was wondering how best to go about it.

Nice splinter camouflage work Dave, those colours seem to have come out okay. I recently bought some Humbrol glosscote too and like Terry would be interested to know the spraying ratios if you used it.

I use Vallejo clear gloss which normally doesn't need thinning to spray through my .5 nozzle.But I bought a new bottle yesterday and tried spraying the sidewinders for my Harrier with it.It didn't work very well.So I diluted it a bit with tap water and it then worked fine.I haven't used The Humbrol one for a few years.But I used to thin it the same as their paints.Roughly 50,50 though I don't measure it.

Cheers Dave much apreciated

That's handy to know, cheers Dave. I use Vallejo gloss out of an aerosol but it;s becoming expensive and hard to find so went in with Humbrol's product.
