Well i had an attempt at mottle effect with an airbrush and i have to say it's pants. I'm going to have to respray some sections as the paint (Vallejo Model Air) splattered and dried up really quickly at low pressure. Not impressed at all. Also i think i didn't get the air pressure low enough

Aaah,the joys of the airbrush! The good news is that you can go over it again, ask me how I know.

Cheers

I think at some point, we all bless the fact that we can re-spray without too much loss of detail.....

Well i've had a mare with the mottling so it is what it is. I have given up painting and repainting. Doesn't look any good but i need to get it finished now lol.

Will post some pics soon.

Here are two pics. I've started adding exhaust stain as well. I'm really not happy with the mottling but i can't be bothered to change it now. For some reason my airbrush and Vallejo paints decided not to like each other. Normally they are fine and as long as you clean it out well at the end there is no problem. But i suppose you build and learn. The exhaust stain is black chalk and it is also going to be used for the cannon stains and shell eject ports on the wings.

Here is a quick update. Not much done to it as i've been busy with work and also trying to get the Hunter finished for my fathers birthday. Started placing the decals on. Starting to look ok and it hides the paint job so thats good
