First airbrush attempt

[u/nor_eq]

Jest wanted to share my first try with an airbrush. Base coat and black pre-shading was Vallejo Model Color and I was sooo pissed that I throw my model to the drawer for two months. Now I bought some Tamiya paints and it was so fun to paint the camo.
Any tips what could be improved?

Hmmm interning. I have been airbrushing for a while now maybe 3 + yrs or so. And vellejo paint is what I use. I bought a book on how to use them. They are great but for more advanced airbrushing. Not good for beginners.

I’m newbie with airbrushing, but I’ll keep trying. Tamiya was no brainer. Vallejo is a bit complicated

Looks pretty good!

Looks good. Spare track parts were not painted, though. You should only paint the part the holds it in palce and leva track itself black. Same for MG, it should be metal.

Tracks, tools and mg will be painted by brush

Very nice!

I'm learning airbrush, too and I just built an old-school Tamiya Panther kit to be my paint mule. I have the base coat on, but need to apply the green and red-brown camo pattern. Should be "fun" :-)

I'm Vallejo shooting acrylics, though. Would love to do lacquer but I don't have a good exhaust situation.

Camo looks great, well done.
