When i did my Spitfire RoboBassa i used maskol. Its like a paint on latex. Made it very easy.What’s my best option to achieve a camo finish without an airbrush , I’m happy with what I’ve achieved in the little tanks , the 1:35 scale is going to be a different proposition I reckon .....

I've tried masking with PVA before. It's just too fluid. It won't stay where you put it.of course , for some reason I had pva glue in my head , poor man’s version ?

Well I suppose its about time I posted something in here. Seing as I've now actually finished something, I guess there's no better time.
Tamiya's 1/48 Corsair (although I forget exactly which one) painted in Mr Hobby Aqueous paints.
Thanks!Wow thats stunning mate. Love the chipping effect you got and the smoke/burn effect on the gun areas. I have one WW2 kit to build in my stash but it looks way out my skill level due to all the extras that came with it. Will go take some pics and let you see.
Wow that's a lot of PE! I wouldn't bother with that.Kit came with so much extra PE and resin. Dont think i would know where to start. View attachment 1327446View attachment 1327447

Oops yea I forgot about that wee Bugger. The wings flung me off.Two? I spotted a Lysander amongst your WWI kits

Be sure to post lots of build pics. I have ran out of 2mm rigging. Still got about 6 lines to do, Have more in the post or could drop back to 1mm. Mmmm what to do. Oh and I bought this today, Not bad for £25 shipped....So after screwing up the paint on this Corsair (some things are best left alone) and generally unhappy with the lack of perfection (panel lines covered by 10 coats of paint) I've scrapped the Corsair and will start fresh tomorrow on something new.
Ah well.. for a £3.50 guinea pig I've learned a lot.
