The AMT Wings 1:48 A-20G with KitsWorld decals. This is my second attempt at airbrushing. Thank you for looking.

Really nice work, if that is only your second attempt at airbrushing then everything is looking really great…now if only I could do that !

Nice job on that kit. Great box art if I recall. Looks like you got the airbrush working bud!

Nice build! Good work with the airbrush. An aircraft model you don’t see everyday.

Really well done. Your second time with an airbrush?
How much weight did you have to put in the nose?

That’s a good looking clean build! Well done! It looks like you have your basic airbrushing down.

What type of paints did you use and what sort of airbrush are you using?

I like it. Good job for being your second airbrush job. It’s a decent kit for its era, in fact it was the second or third that I build when I returned to the hobby back in the 90s.

One thing I would have done is to add a flat clear coat to knock down some of the shine, but I tend to build my warbirds to look like they are sitting on some dusty field in Europe. :grin:

All together about 4-6 3/8” steel nuts if I remember correctly.

I use enamel and lacquer based paints mostly. I find them far more forgiving through the airbrush than acrylics.
As for my airbrush, my wife for my birthday last year went to Harbor Freight and bought a compressor and the Master 6 gun airbrush kit for me. It works for me pretty well so far.

Earlier this year, my wife was in Orlando and bought me the same kit from Harbor Freight. The compressor is good and consistent and the airbrush is excellent. Excellent choice.
