So, how do you like em? I only used them so far for some brush detail painting.

thank you!

I work almost exclusively in 1:72 and do all the soft demarcation camos freehand. But it takes a good deal of practice to get the feel and a good airbrush with a fine needle tip and properly thinned paint and compressor setting. I am using H&S Evolution Silverline with 0.15mm nozzle and H&S Infinity 2024 with 0.25mm nozzle and MRP lacquers. Some of my examples:

I've got some of Chris's Draken parts and they are 3d printed high quality stuff. Also met the guy in Moson last month - nice chap! Here's the address: https://www.wolf3dresinparts.at/

Traffic grey is suitable for refurbished and upgraded BMs and has a blue tone to it. For earlier 31s I guess MRP-354 Grey would more suitable.
