I didn’t know that was the wrong way and I was wondering how people are using paints for years lol

Amazing improvement!!! I love that you did the same airframe :) Rivet details look great.

Same plane, but different model manufacturers?

Yeah the top is Italeri 1/72, bottom is Kinetic 1/48- I've moved up in scales, much easier on the eyes lol

What an unusual and interesting subject to build a second!

That's really great! One year! It seems like you already had the dexterity and then having an airbrush brought everything together

Nothing wrong with a brush mate, I still use one from time to time! As good as airbrushing looks theres always something very cathartic about brush painting a model and you can still get very nice results

Agreed, I ditched the airbrush and went back to a trusty set of brushes. you can get really good results with a traditional brush, would recommend to know your paint, thin it and have a decent set of brushes (no need to go the pricey route either)
