                        Be easy on me... just got back into modeling. This is my second attempt at using an airbrush....just put it on freehand.Still have a few more hours to go on this project.

                        Oil wash in panel lines... and a coat of future with Tamiya flat base mixed 3:1... think I was a little heavy on the flat... maybe should of went 5:1

                        All I got is the dreaded red x!
                        Although, I must admit, it is a very good representation of a red x.
                        Just kidding. Would love to see the Skyraider when you get it fixed.

                        It's another kit that's on my shelf to build. Looks great to me; paint scheme is great! Makes me want to try an airbrush soon. What were the colors.Bow [bow]

                        Thanks for the replies.... I used Tamiya...XF-61_Dark Green...XF-52_Flat Earth...XF-65_Field Grey.

                        Then shot a coat of Future... a Raw Umber oil wash in panel lines. Then a coat of Future and Tamiya Flat Base in a mix of... 3 parts Future to 1 part Tamiya Flat Base. (As Per Swanny's tips )

                        Next time I may go with a 4 or 5 to one ratio. Came out mighty flat... seems to look ok though.

                        Maybe I got lucky with this camo job... It was a big improvment over my first model a few weeks ago. It was a Japanese Type 61 Tank.

                        Thanks, Jim
