How's THIS for tight airbrushing?

[John Howling Mouse]

I jest, of course, since this is actually hand-brush painted.
Did the 42 million airbrushing attempts to get a nice, tight
yet feathered demarcation b/w colors.

No matter what I did (paint viscosities, angles of attack, even
various raised masks, etc., etc.) I still couldn't live with the final
yick-yuck result.  It might in fact be the acryl paint.  I know some
people say they're just not suitable for this kind of work and enamels
work better, yadda-yadda-yadda.

I suck, in other words.

So, wth, I hand-painted the little fuzzy bunny!

Here are some shots.  The flash really washed out the colors so I've got some
shots without flash (which then come across really "yellow/orange").

A shot without flash.  Somewhere in between is the "true" color scheme.

required underneath!!!

I was figuring on going with either USMC or USAF.  Blahhhhhhh, boring, I know, but I'm hoping such recognizable markings might lend a little believability to the design.

It's the tiger striped F-5E I'm unsure of.  Might go with Swiss markings on that one.

Speaking as a brush painter, thats one mighty fine piece of painting there Baz.  Great job!
