WW2 F/A-18

[nebnoswal]

I was fortunate enough to recieve an air compressor and air-brush of my good lady wife for my birthday prior to christmas.  I've had limited experience with an airbrush, mainly just paintling  N gauge trains, which are 1 colour and small (1/148).

Need something to practice on, I acquired a cheap 1/72 Hornet, and using some inspiration from Coops213 work, I've made an attempt on a Hornet wearing WW2 South pacific Spitfire Mk VIII cam, in particular 79 Sqn.  http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,25486.720.html

Its not finished yet, not by a long shot, here is a progress shot after a couple of days work.  My masking needs some improvment, so too my paint mixing skills!

Looking good so far (great stuff in the background there as well  )  Airbrushes are FUN! When I first got one I would buy stuff already complete, like cheap die cast cars or planes, or old toys. Stuff that would cut build time but increase airbrush practice

Looks great! Always thrilled to see one of my profiles come to life.
