Awesome brush painted job you did!

Very nice! I like the color.

Awesome build and great paint job and choice of color!

Thanks for your kind comment! I am certainly not an expert,as this in only my second model model that I have done but this is what I did and it work for me to achieve the look that I wanted. I used Testors enamel Flat rust for the base coat, I found out that by using flat enamel the brush marks or lines were greatly reduced specially if I applied the coat quite heavy. I then applied a coat of hair spray straight from the canister, after the hair spray dried I applied a coat of enamel Testors flat black for the top coat. I also used acrylic craft paint in various colors and Testors flat brown and even a little bit of rust powder to touch up here and there for the rust look. This is the first model I did, but I did not use hair spray on the body, I just use fine sand paper to sand through the green paint until the rust shown through. the only part that I sprayed with hair spay was the bomb gas tank.

Thanks for all the advice and I will take it all into consideration, I am just starting so I have so much to learn and things to get.

I am in N.B

Thank you for answering my questions and great information! I will have to consider all of your info and maybe invest into getting an airbrush.

I don't know much about airbrushing but if you don't mind me asking how do you deal with paint fumes and paint over spray? Thanks

Thanks a lot Wayne I have so much to learn and try yet, I am really really pleased with the way the dipstick and the valves turned out.

Thanks Ed that's exactly what i thought about the tires.

Here is my first build ever, I am new to the hobby lots of experimenting, all hand painted.

Hi folks I am new to modelling this is only my second build,all hand painted as I live in an apartment building and can't do any spray painting.I have so much to learn and having so much fun doing it.
