Well after browsing and this forum and spoken in some topics I thought I should show what i´m building atm. Since i´m returning to the hobby this is the only kit I have so far.
I considered this kit as a training ground for me to try out all the stuff i´ve read about on this forum.
This kit is my first time airbrushing anything, first time building a tank, first time a dragon kit and will be first time weathering and stuff.
There is still decals to be done, detail painting and weathering aint done either so it´s far from complete but thought I post the results so far.
I´ve been having great fun so far so thnx everyone on this forum and the youtube channels , been a great help.
More progress pictures will come.

I too am back to this great hobby after many years.
If you like any tips or tutorials on weathering, I can highly recommend the video's of Hamilkar Barkas.

Very nice indeed my friend...

Fantastic camo and colour scheme.
What did you use to mask between the colours?
.... it looks too clean to be free-hand surely?...and is it the 1:35 scale kit?
Well done Sir, I will be dropping by to watch you finish this fantastic build off.

got my popcorn ready for the next instalment.

So I got some time over during the weekend and got some work done on the Leopard i´m doing but also I completed this, atleast I think i´m done with it.
So only the second time weathering something at all but i´m not that dissapointed but of course there´s always room for improvement but here it is.
I made it very dusty cause I think it suited the camo.

Oh wow Stefan... that's your first time weathering? That' is really well done buddy.
You've been paying attention!!!
Sheesh... I wish mine what that good when I first tried weathering.
Mine looked more like a seagull with diarrhea crapped on my tank.
