I am not familiar with the Revell Flex airbrush. Depending on how tightly you can adjust the spray pattern will dictate if you will need to mask or spray the main pattern freehand. The smaller "dot" portions are best brush painted with a small brush.

If your airbrush can do small enough lines and you want to airbrush any of those (no idea what version your planning) you can lightly draw your line on first with a light pencil. Makes getting the correct pattern easier than looking at reference shots all the time when working with a loaded airbrush.

There really wasn't a "pattern" per se.. The crews added the other colors and likely had a general reference to work from, but no two tanks would be the same pattern..  And, I think he's talking about doing the "Ambush" pattern...

While he's sleeping!
Try to be vewy qwiet. I'd recomend an air can so the compressor don't start up and wake him. And for heavens sake don't fart as you are leaving.
