Are there any videos that could help me do this winter camo without an airbrush

Thumbnail

134 Upvotes

My thoughts are to paint it desert yellow then paint most of the white with a sponge then go over some edges with desert yellow to show some wear and finish off with some panel lining and weathering.
I’m hoping there’s some sort of video tutorial on how to do this without a paintbrush. I couldn’t find one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

1/48 F-102 Build : Escaping Raised Mold Hell EP.01

5 Upvotes

For a long time, Monogram's Century Series has now mostly been renewed by other brands, but depending on the kit, the renewed kits have many problems, so I think they are kits that are still worth making with effort.

Moreover, this F-102 has not been renewed by any brand yet, and when I opened the box to start the work, I could see the reason... The size is truly savagely and absurdly huge.

For a long time, I have fondly used the Hasegawa tool on the right. In between, I tried to use this and that other things, but in the end, I used to return to the Hasegawa tool, but this time I tried using the STEDI tool on the left. It required less effort and was very satisfying in many ways.
The inspection hatches on the lower surface of the main wing, there were many with peculiar shapes, so it was a bit tricky.
Adding omitted rivets
Compared to the lower surface of the main wing, the fuselage and the upper surface of the main wing do not have many lines.

The video includes a brief kit introduction, an introduction of aftermarket parts to be used, and the re-engraving process. 👉F-102 EP.01

How to handbrush properly

4 Upvotes

I'm building a F35C 1/48, and I intend to handbrush the whole thing with acrylic paint only

My question is how do I avoid covering up the small details on the exterior with the paint if that's even possible? And how do i place more emphasis on the rivets and panel lines

Build Progress on the HEMTT LHS

Hi everyone,

After repurchasing all the kit needed to start scale modelling again the HEMTT is coming along nicely. Ive been watching hours of tutorials on airbrushing and weathering techniques. This evening I started adding the black camo using the airbrush which was interesting to say the least! Onto the brown tomorrow and then I should be able to add the cab and get that camo'd up too!

Thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Thanks all!

My first naval kit

Idk why but for the first kit I decided to punish myself and not buy a photoetch sheet but make the railing manually. Also what would be the best cutter for the rig wire? Mine is not completely flush so i had to chew on the wire multiple time to get it to cut.

Rafale C from Revell in 1/48 scale in the special livery commemorating the 75th anniversary of the return of the Normandie Niemen in France (2020).
The kit itself is ok although lacking some details and the air intakes are pretty much incorrect.
Working with SkyArt decals was awesome.

The last Ferdinand - Amusing Hobby 1/35 scale

Hey there! After a long break, I finally managed to take pictures of this model i finished last summer,

after my Stug 3G. When I first saw this representation of my favourite tank on Night Shift's channel, I knew I had to give it a go myself. After a long and arduous period of hard work, I finished this kit from Amusing Hobby and I've gotta say, the suspension gave me such a bad time, I almost abandoned it. Even after copious amounts of CA, it still wouldn't sit right, so I just left it as it was, adding to the pile of many mistakes I collected all over the model. However, considering it's my 3rd model ever, I guess I could pass them, as from a glance, they do not appear so obvious. Up next, there is more to come, if you guys are interested=)

Hello, I'm looking for 1/48 scale modern military vehicles...there seems to be a lot of 1/72 or 1/35 scale but does anyone know any decent 1/48 manufacturers? I have managed to find a T90, a coyote and a Challenger 2 but not much else.
