Such nice progress there, Rick! And as you say, keep mixing colours til it hits the version of what appeals to you! Great to get a new compressor... your new toy looks great... keep looking at my 15+ year monster and expecting the worst... Regards, Marc.

Movig along nicely ! May have to try some Vallejo paints.

Thanks Amigo. As for the Vallejo paints one sees Mixed reviews. It seems that Many hate airbrushing them and others Love them. I am in the middle. I get decent results but tend to use Tamiya if I know I will need to mask over the colors

The Spad looks really good Rick. Those Gaspatch accessories are very good value for money and some of the few AM parts that I use.

Stephen.

As always thanks for commenting Stephen. The Gaspatch guns are indeed terrific accessories!

Thanks Marc. I only hope that when it arrives Tuesday it is all that I expect! I spent an hour or so cleaning the airbrush today in anticipation

I have already painted the black I couldn't do when the old one went Tango Uniform. Just for the record the Holding Tank empties quickly so it runs a lot. The good news is it is FAR and Away quieter than My old compressor!

So, I loved working with the New compressor. I painted the black, tweaked the scheme, and have progressed to adding markings. Roundels are Super Scale, all others are from the kit. I found the kit decals really easy to work with on this one. Only one small touch up needed on the upper surface #1.

A compressor is just a tool Rick, but with you behind the controls, it turns into some magical gadget!

Nice to hear that Roden decals worked for a change. I have had very few good experiences with them.

Looking good.

Cheers,

Hugh

The Roden decals can be problematic for sure. IN this case they worked great!
