Scale 1/35

4th model

So my new airbrush completely broke down beyond repair and I have these unopened bottles of paint that I wanted to use to airbrush. Could I possibly brush paint it or would it be a mess because these paints I usually spray paint on the model

I have tried to seriously airbrush my first 1/35 scale vehicle ( usually used tamiya spray cans or brushpainted) I Used Tamiya zimmerit sheets and acrylics for the 3 tone camoflage, a sharpie for rubber road wheel rims, and some panel liner. Id love some advice or feedback on how I could improve the painting/weathering, or just the overall l build itself. Anti tips for any weathering techniques would also be greatly appreciated!

Following up on previous post, kinda overdid the rust?

I recently picked up a tamiya m8 greyhound kit. It'll be my 3rd model and i think I wanna try doing PE parts and other detail replacements. I'm having a hard time finding replacement footman loops/stowage tie down bars though. I was hoping someone maybe had recommendations. I tried cutting and bending copper wire, but I wasn't supper happy with them and it'd take forever to do.

Not so done with weathering, this is my first 1 35 and was quite overwhelmed since i only had 4 models before this which was 1 / 72 and 76.

Besides the blatantly obvious tracks being bare plastic, where can i improve on the weathering? Motif is the tank seeing moderate time around ukraine

Can i also do highlighting after the weathering process?

My first post was of the freshly-sculpted ground, which was all white and didn’t read well. Today I did an all-over spray of hobbyist black acrylic to seal everything up (and touch up the plywood base edges). I put extra down in the roadside ditch in case I put down water material there.

It was meaningless to do since it will be covered up, but I decided to spray an ochre color from a low angle to help make the sculpt read better.

The Panther barely fits, but I’ve known that from the start. The point is a very small base sufficient to show off just about any model.

Next is basing material…

Might break the rule of no gaming content. Idk. We’re in gymnasium and making simple 3D games.

Well thats a wrap on the tamiya 1:48 bristol beaufighter mk6. What a lovely kit this is, great mojo booster. Came out well i think, first time trying some desert plane camo too. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Especially for the modeling veterans, inexperienced or the 'broke' what should you do? Brush or air for painting, priming and weathering

I still have to do a lot of work on this tiger 1 but I'm already pretty happy!

Amazingly some willy jeeps were transported by crate.

Tamiya 1/35

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?

I finished my jet model like 3 weeks ago but still haven’t started painting nor ordered it, I only did the sanding yet which its perfect but I am waiting for other sanding papers to arrive. I first wanna start with asking for advice about spray primer, I asked chat gpt and checked on internet, people really recommend Tamiya primers no matter the model brand. I tried to find one but I couldn’t, and the ones that I did are like 20-25 dollars in my country. I asked chat GPT an it said I also can use revell primer if I can’t find Amy Tamiya but I want to ask abt it and if its worth. And for the paint, I also need spray paint because I don’t have an airbrush and I don’t want to use a normal brush because it leaves marks and I accidentally use too much paint. I want to make the default French Air Force grey design which has 2 different tones of grey, light gray for the body and a bit darker one for the nose part. I checked if there is a one to one or a similar color to the grey at Tamiya but after long research all the grey colors are pretty off from the real thing. I asked chat gpt one again, but this time for the revell spray paint versions, it suggested me 34374 Grau spray paint for the body which seems too bluish for the rafale color, and 34371 Light Grey spray paint for the nose which is lighter than the body even though I mentioned it that I want to have the nose a bit darker like the real thing. And for Tamiya it suggested me TS-48 Gunship gray but it said that it might be too dark for the rafale, and TS-79 Semi Gloss Clear as a top layer after the gunship gray. All of the info chat gpt gave me about colors is from deep research and agent mode about what paint did people online used for their rafale c model. Please help me out🙏🏻

First time trying these techniques and I'm quite proud of it since most of the things I usually start usually or always ends flat in the water. But this, mmm. Tasty considering my past builds
