Blending camo lines?

Using paper cut yourself some masks and then take some blutak/postertak/sillyputty/whatever and use a small amount to raise the paper masks up a smidge and then spray away. The slightly raised masks will allow for a a small amount of spray to get underneath thereby feathering/melding/blending your edges.

Good advice. Though, from my mistakes, if you use too much pressure and/or spray directly perpendicular to the mask you can get "ghosting" behind the mask. I have learned the hard way to use about 5psi, spraying closely, and at a slight bit of angle away from the mask line you won't get ghosting.

Thin paint, low air pressure and move in close. May want to check the tip of your needle to see if there's a burr. That will cause splatter. If you haven't already, try removing the needle cap for detail work.

No, she is an American Pit Bull Terrier mix.

To get blanding camo lines by mask I use blue tac.Enrico.

I would just mask the colors since 1/72 scale is not a scale that freehand airbrushing would look particularly realistic on.

That kind of splatter may be an indication of insufficient cleaning between sessions.  Also, I'd try just a bit thinner mix.

Hi ,try to set down the pressure (0,6-0.8),thinning 65%-70% then attention to the trigger :move it very smootly ,very light hands you don't cover with first ,second hand.........Ciao Enrico.
