Great work! Love the look of this tank.

nice work!

in 1/72, i tend to use a paper mask, held in place over the kit by poster putty. Make sure you spray at a 90 degree angle and the end result is a light fade.

Three Robin Hobbs books. Al Murray’s Black Tuesday and an Ebay GC. That GC was turned into 2 Sabot books (Dutch PRTL/Cheeta and Dutch Leopard II), Tankcraft’s Canadian, ZA, and NZ Shermans in Italy, and Oprey’s Royal Dutch Navy in the 2nd WW. So i can’t complain.

There are two corner stones to Metal, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin imho. I got to see BS on their last tour. Ozzy was very limited physically but still sounded great. RIP Ozzy.

i had it happen with the 36251 and 36375 when thinned a bit with X-20A and with the 36375 when thinned a bit with water. They mixed easily and went on great. Nothing happened that would lead me to think that the paint was bad or old. I'll tweak my technique with the suggestions and try again. I've used MM acrylics in the past and currently use almost all Gunze.

So i bought some AKAN paints, as MM discontinued 36251 for the Mod Eagle scheme. I have used it twice now. Once thinning a little with Tamiya's X-20A and the second time thinning a little with water. Both times it sprayed on great and covered well. However, both time the paint has stayed a bit tacky. It is as if it is not dry, but when it is weeks after i sprayed it, it should be. Any ideas and tips to try? Thanks
