Just enjoying your video, thanks for posting. Try using IPA to thin your paint, it is much more forgiving than X20A at highly thinned ratios...also you can go lower on your air pressure with great success. Hope that helps 👍
Great job! Love the effect of using the black undercoat! One tip for you if you´ve not already done this. The needle in your airbrush type is usually quite rough in texture. Polishing it will give you an incredible inprovement in spraying control and fine-line spraying capabilities akin to a much more expensive airbrush. Using some metal polishing paste. Put a small amount of polish between your index finger and thumb and gently slide and roll your needle through it between the fingers, pinching it tightly and focusing the pressure on the tapered part at the top. Preferably do this while wearing plastic gloves or you will have black fingers for a while. Your needle will go from a metal black-greyish colour to a more chromelike mirror finish with a very smooth slippery feel to it. When you´re happy with it. Just wash the polish residue off with some water and dishwashing detergent and re-insert the needle into the airbrush. Enjoy! :)
I tried to spray away from the grey camo, and I agree, there is a risk of erasing the shades by having a border with 2 colors on top. If you want to be careful on that, then yes, use a mask.
Just SUPERB!! (I need to get an airbrush!!) 👍
Great story telled, with real ups and downs!

I will do my best, I only have weekends now, and a lot of work, but I will try to finish her this month!
Cool. More than anything, congrats on what's shaping up to be a beauty!
I uploaded part 4, finally I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sorry for keeping you waiting for long.
Would it not be easier to spray the green camo away from the already applied grey to have more control of the demarcation and shape of the pattern?

Nice video and building/paint job.
Can you just put more lights in video...maybe some bluish background.
Any way I subscribe and keep video's coming.
Will try, thanks
Swordfish wings are fabric
Pls tell me, why remove end cup on airbrush?
I assume you are referring to the airbrush nozzle. I do that sometimes to easily check if the needle needs cleaning.
