Everyone hates you.
>>11728656What did I fuck up this time? I can hand it over to someone else, if you guys want.
>>11728660Ebony and ivory. You glow like the sun.
Glorp Athena Ken Paul it’s all the same shit.>huh
what do you guys recommend for JIA khaki? it kinda has an almost green gray tone
>>11728697Ak11905, they have a set of late war IJA paints
What exactly is the perfect ratio for thinner to varnish to get a good matte coat I have the AK ultra matt and it seems that the standard 1/1 ratio kinda doesn't cut it My tank looks like it is doused in morning dew after 2 coatsWhat am I doing wrong?
>>11729075don't mind me, I'm retarded, it turned out, you can just spray it out of the bottle just fine
>>11728865hmmm kinda, it seems to lack that gray green tone.
>>11728697Revell 45 or 362, pic rel is 362
Speaking of paint does anyone know where to buy Hataka Orange Line lacquers that ships to/within the USA? I used to get them from Mega Hobby but since they're closing that option isn't available anymore. Same goes for the acrylic lacquer AK Real Colors, they had some great sets and I have had a really hard time finding them in the past year.
>>11728697
>>11728697The late war set has the greenish khaki.
>>11727432not starting a fifth build but once these are done i'll start on either a 1/72 tamiya zero or seiran or an afv 1/350 ijn i-19 as group build entry
>>11729227>>11729228these look nice but i can't spray lacquers inside.
>>11729312nice MiG 31
>>11729358thanks! she's the second ever airbrushed model after the 1/144 mig15. once the gloss is dry i'll add some stains and marks with oils
>>11729368You should replace those tiny stars if possible. That's not what it looks like.
I think he came out pretty good, definitely messed up the masking but I'm happy with him.
>>11729554The hull looks okay, but the grey tracks and rubber wheels don't look like anything they are supposed to.
>>11729583unfortunately I couldn't assemble the tracks and wheels separately so I kinda just went for that red soil color you see in nam.
>>11728697i use vmc khaki for early war and xf-49 for post 1942
I forgot how many wheels tigers have, this is going to take awhile
