The thing I like about airbrushing acrylics is that if you think it's overdone, a little thinner on a paper towel will clean it right up. I did that a lot of times on my first attempt trying to keep the panel line shading and weathering subtle.
I've been playing with washes and shaders. I'm not an artist but have been able to get decent results.

Guys, not a lot of luck with this model so I have plenty of spare parts. Wings, servos, retracts, tails, stabs, you name it. Would prefer to send out in bulk, not mail out in individual pieces. If someone could use a bunch of spare parts just hit me up. Blue Angel livery.My YouTube RC videos:

Unfortunately I have had some bad experiences with some of the servos. Not deflecting properly in flight even though they work fine on the ground. Gremlins. I've lost 3 out of 4. If I ever get another one I am going to replace the servos.My YouTube RC videos:

75% failure is scary! I'll have to suppress that thought when I eventually get to doing the maiden once I have mine complete - I get jittery enough!!
Had a chance to get the red stripes on the fuse this Saturday - only one more painting session left to complete the blue on the fuse. Then the fun part of applying the final graphics and attending to some of the details.
