actualy, few weeks ago I bought me exactly this airbrush, without the compressor.
didnt have much time to play with it yet. but it seems to work ok for beginner (again).
I have big and noisy compressor. but it can also inflate the tyres so there is that 
I’m using one of these with my Iwata Neo. Not particularly loud but it does vibrate the floor a bit so I have it elevated on a padded shelf.
Finished up the P-51B. Wrong cockpit color and a couple other minor goofs but I’m otherwise pleased.
Beauty
Looks great, photos came out really well too
Colors varied greatly. A little artistic license is allowed.
Here’s a great article on the subject.
I took the liberty of grayscaling a pic to see how it looks.
Yeah! Looks great!
You should be.
Good job! 
Interesting! I knew the interior of gear bays and such varied but didn’t know the cockpit color varied as well.
Beautiful work man!
Colors in general varied quite a bit back then.
Multiple production facilities and multiple manufacturers mass producing at a fast pace for the war effort… Add to that the scale effect of miniature models, weathering, lighting conditions and mostly using old photographs as reference and you quickly realize that there is no definitive answer to how the colors actually looked. Even on preserved aircraft the colors will have aged and won’t look exactly as they did 80 years ago.
Still there are model builders who insist on using the exact color.
If it looks good, it’s good enough, I always say.
great looking Pony, would like to build one of the racer Bs
Awesome sauce. Motivation for me to get better.
Wow… just wow.
I’m not totally done with this one, I’ll be crafting a small fishing rod for the bed. But, I’m actually VERY happy with it.
Since it’s an AMT kit, you need to sometimes muscle those parts together. But, weathering the bed and underneathe turned out good. One more out of my stash.
made some progress
not happy with the revell decals on this Fokker
this Zlin turned out better, but I ordered custom printed decals for this one
about time for the next one
Its hammering with rain here.
So we busted out dads models and picked one each and did our first builds together.
Quite a pleasant morning
I love how Lara conveyed that the nazi fighter had a very bad day.
Don’t tell her if that wasn’t the intent though. She might have been more into dadaism perhaps? Not that that would change my perspective of the work though, Death of The Author and all that
The tank looks surprisingly good. Are these their first models?
Yes first time for them both. They both seemed to really enjoy it. I let obi loose with the craft knife for a little while but it was too much to watch. He did all his own gluing and attaching. I did admittedly help with the tracks, more from curiosity as I’ve never made a tank before and wanted to see how they went together. But he did pretty good!
Lara, is very craft orientated and was out the gate running. But struggled with the fitting of the parts. Loved the painting though. The poor german pilot has a painted cockpit canopy.
They were both concerned about “keeping the models” which i couldn’t understand at all. But i finally understood that they assumed i would hang them on the ceiling with my other ones and they were worried about not being able to have them themselves! That was very sweet!
That’s amazing, you laid a great foundation there!
Hope they’ll play, break and fix them a lot. It’s very empowering being able to break and fix your toys.
