Great work Ratch, I've read one or two comments on here about the good qualities of Vajello paints for brush painting.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

That looks great and your choice to make it in-flight, on the stand, really makes it pop .... some great camera angles there !

That just begs for some Spin-a-Props !
