Oh yes, I also like to see a good action shot from the Basement Lab I must admit that I'm quite lazy when it comes to U/C doors and antennae and generally brush paint them if I've forgotten to airbrush them on the sprues whilst the main airframe was being painted - which is often the case and generally I tend to notice just after I've finished cleaning the airbrush I can't be bothered setting up the airbrush etc for one or two small parts even though that sometimes risks spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

The paint mix is with Vallejo Air paints which don't brush very well, so AB is the way to go.ShaunW wrote:Oh yes, I also like to see a good action shot from the Basement Lab I must admit that I'm quite lazy when it comes to U/C doors and antennae and generally brush paint them if I've forgotten to airbrush them on the sprues whilst the main airframe was being painted - which is often the case and generally I tend to notice just after I've finished cleaning the airbrush I can't be bothered setting up the airbrush etc for one or two small parts even though that sometimes risks spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar.

Even less action tonight, I sprayed the other side of the doors with dark grey primer!
I blame the cost of Postman Pat's stunt double for the lack of action.

Undercarriage door painted dark blue this morning and fitted this afternoon.
The tyres also got painted
Just a few little vanes and scoops to fit now...
Cheers

Really good Andrew.

Another nice one - it looks brilliant Andrew and a very different scheme from the norm.

Ok folks 2 more Harriers have arrived!
Matchbox FRS.1 and Hasegawa GR.3.
Both will go into Royal Navy colours.
I know the GR.3 never served in the Navy but they did have 1.

I think this particular one has finished, but you could try for another. Plenty of people like Harriers
