Amazing. Just amazing. 12/11. Great model building skills! I just can never paint with it getting all over my hands and where I DON’T want the paint going. I finished a Hawker Hunter recently… Maybe I can post that. But Tamiya paints are peak. I use them too. Tamiya model, I’m assuming?

(Also, tip with the decals: Wet the area first then apply them. And of course, add the finish after.)

A secret tip is that if you get paint where you don’t want it to and you don’t have the thinner, you can use a q-tip with Windex sprayed on it. It works very well. But only on acrylics. If you want to get even finer areas, I have these little cotton paint stirrers that work really well with Windex on them. I just don’t know the name of them…
