I have always failed at brush painting because I was unaware that 7-8 coats is what was necessary. Also I probably did not thin my paint well enough. It must be very satisfying to know that you can fully trust your process and get stellar results every time. I am learning a lot with your videos.
You have inspired me to begin model building again. I loved doing it when I was growing up but have not completed a scale plastic airplane in many decades. I never liked airbrushing but never got the results you did in this video by handbrushing either. Now I know why. More coats of paint and a little patience! Thank you! You do great work!
Excellent model, but I wish you used a bit of weathering on the Stuka, like dust and mud on wheels and gear legs, metal chipping on wings, and exhaust streams, but over all this video, and the technique of just brushing is inspirational.
I think the current fad for weathering to the extreme is tedious. I know that is NOT what you are saying, though. I've been to a few shows where I've thought some exhibits were ruined, and looked ridiculous. I'd say there is a case for clean models in that when straight off the production line, pre-ferry flight, they would be pristine. Sure, this model has two crew members. Maybe it's the first mission.
Some really nice brushwork there, nice thinned paints and overall top job. My respect to you. One critique though if I may. I'd like to see what paints you using.
Great job! I was wondering what paint you used for this model? Did you thin it, and if so, what thinner did you use and at what ratio paint:thinner? How many coats of paint were required for the exterior surfaces? Thanks for the video.
An aircraft straight from the factory? I get the trend toward (over)weathering, but a brand new aircraft, just delivered, would be realistic at some point?

Stig Svanberg: A very good job !
Stig Svanberg: Nice to see the painting.I've always been brushpainting.
I have, since I was a kid, been using Humbrol,but as they've stopped selling it,I've begun using Revell colours.
Very nice work!!
Very well done 👏 !
Well done!! Bravo!

Just started watching, doing a quick scan, and could not see which paints you used. Enamels or acrylics?
How did you get your paint to be so smooth and also what kind of paint brand do you use cause I just finished my first model

Spot on, I'd like to know which paints, too!
Muy buen video, pero... Que pintura esta usando? Que diluyente y proporciones?
