Great custom. I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice.

Looks really nice you should repaint the mg-42's though the 21st paint job on them looks to toyish. But really great work I wish I didn't have so many bills to pay.

Really nice. Love the spotted/blotched camo look. Your outdoor photograph really captures the custom paint nicely. Looks fantastic!

Nice looking halftrack. You use Tamiya acrylics? Splattered mud effects look great.

What tamiya acrylics do you use for your tri color? If you use tamiya. I'm looking into buying some.

So, alcohol works good at thinning them and cleaning out the airbrush? I don't need their thinner? XF-20 if I recall.

99% Isopropyl alcohol is practically the same as the Tamiya thinner. You can use alcohol to clean the airbrush for acrylics, sometimes I use Windex.

Awesome. I just asked because they have something else in them. I think you would call it a solvent based acrylic. I think the tamiya paints do. I know Gunze does. They have two lines, Mr color which is lacquer based acrylic, and MR hobby which is water based. I can't tell the difference because they all seam to be labeled "mrhobby" and a large "Mr color."
