Painting Field-Applied Camo with Tamiya Paints for Scale Models

They make gloves you know...

Well it's that time of the year again Merry Xmas to you an family

As they say try try again your doing a good job and thanks for sharing good luck to you london

good video ! thx!!!👍

So let me get this straight, your using Tamiya lacquer thinner to spray Tamiya acrylics for the Camo? Not the Tamiya airbrush thinner.

Hi, I am a newbie to airbrushing and using masking solution and need your expert suggestion on how to properly remove the masking solution without scratching the underlying base paint I applied. I am working on a Tamiya Leopard A4 and the two-color camouflage scheme requires that I first airbrush a layer of red brown, applied masking solution to outline the camouflage pattern, then airbrush the olive drab over the red brown and the masking solution. But maybe I applied too thin a layer of masking solution or too thick a layer of the olive drab paint, when I tried to remove the masking solution using
a small tweezers, I always scratched the underlying red brown paint. And since I applied a thin layer of masking solution (I used the Mr. Hobby Masking Sol R), it’s become difficulty to discern the contour of the masking solution under the 2 layer of the olive drab paint! Do you have any suggestion? As a last resort, I might just spray over the scratched surface and use the one-color camouflage scheme. Thanks for any suggestions!

What tip size?

I'm going crazy! i ordered my Badger 105 patriot airbrush yesterday and now I'm waiting for it... lol... compressor supposed to be here tomorrow!

Hello! Thank you so much for this video! After watching it, I finally learned how to draw thin lines and beautiful and complex camouflage! I thinned the paint and adjusted the pressure as you said, and I began to draw well!

Your a very messy modeller when it comes to painting.

I know this is an old video but was wondering if you change tips needle sizes etc when you're spraying camo

I’m really stand-offish with airbrushing because I’m not confident on mixing or application. But watching this have me some confidence to try again!

I honestly think your the only other person I've heard say Tamyias dark yellow just doesn't look right! I can always tell if someone has used it on a German vehicle! Compared to the RAL numbers it's comp different to my eye, but that'll be another colour that changes in history notes next like Matilda n whathave you haha!

why laquer thinner and not acrylic thinner??

Great channel... one word of advice... since you do a lot of helpful tutorials for beginners, talk slower. You talk way too fast and sometimes it’s hard to understand what you’re saying.

Hey man I love your videos. I started building model tanks about a year and a half ago and ive learned a ton from watching your videos. I really appreciate it! But one question. What would you say the best airbrush for model tanks would be?? my cheap master airbrush sucks and im looking for a new one. I dont know much and they seem really expensive and confusing to choose the right one. I want something that can do very fine lines for say 1/72 camo but still be able to spray thicker paint. Please let me know what you think the best airbrush for model tanks is! Thanks!

👍

This is a great video but I just have one question, how did you paint the tools and the wheels? Also how much did the airbrush cost?

You do damn nice work. Your tank looks terrific! I never could get my 105 to paint that fine, but I’m sure I didn’t have the paint mixed right and I now I had the psi set too high. I’m using the Creos PS-274 now and I’ve had great luck with it so far. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your stuff!

Will this color combo fit with Tiger I (ver 131)?

Very nice and informative video.

Good job and thanks for the tips 👍

For real you use a spray to paint patterns like that. why don't you just cut patterns on masking tape and spray a larger area directly? Or just use a paint brush to do that will be faster.

Have you tried XF 88,dark yellow 2?

On the battlefield, in ww2, how was this sort of camo applied?

Really damn impressive job on that camo!!

im curious about the leather bags

With the badger are you using a .5 or .3 needle? I’m using a .5 on an iwata and considering going to .3. I make 1/35 afvs

Hey Tamiya salesmen- get the shitty 10ml thimble shit stamped on and get the 27ml ones back

Why the TAMIYA thing? Good vid though

Was that square zimmerit pre molded?

I love that camo look where it looks like someone just grabbed some spray cans and filled it in real quick, a guy who lives near me has a truck that he painted like that and it looks so sick

Heya, thanks for the great video/s. I like the little sandbag thing you rest your models on as you work and was wondering did you make it or buy it? If so where?

Excellent camo work. Your DY mix is right on par with the Gunze Sanyo Mr. Color DY which is what I use. You could also leave out the yellow & just add white because later panzer DY was very pale from what I've read.

Cool camou tutorial..I have a question regarding dull coating the model. Do you recommend using laquer dull coat (tamiya ts-80 or testors) to seal acrylic paint? The matt or flat coat might mess up the paint and decals. Do you have a tip on how to seal the paint and decals with matt finish without eating up the paint and decals?...thanks Mate!

If you lay small parts on a piece of window screen when you painting the air pressure will hold them in place.

i didn't realize Tamiya paints need to be thinned that much, that's why my airbrush was clogging so much, also I spray 1 coat, I'll try 3 or 4 thin coats now.

What compressor do you use?

Should I shade panel lines?

I honestly think you've done a great job man those were some good tips like the paper towel line check, helped me out 👍

Your videos have been very helpful! I use a second hand Badger 150 that came with one needle (unknown size), not fine enough for thin lines like the ones in this video. Can you recommend a needle size for fine lines?
Thanks!

The music reminds me of bill and Ted when there in the future and music is playing

I know this is an old thread but what’s a good primer color to use under Tamiya XF-60 or TS 3
I tried nato black but it comes out to dark at the washers and with the tricolor camouflage Is pershading really necessary and can I do pre-shading After the paint is on with oil’s

Hi , i use a revell sterter kit airbrush, when painting the airbrush conatantly pumps out air even when im not pulling the triggure , this makes it hard to paint camoes and even base coats as it splatters every were 😐 how can i fix this , if not what can i do ( buying a different airbrush/compressor)
Thanks..

I am a complete novice but i found your tutorial very easy to follow and i have learned the basics thanks.

I plan on getting a airbrush kit and was wondering does it put off a strong paint smell when using the airbrush, like the paint cans do? Because I plan to use it inside a bedroom and didn’t know if it will put off a strong paint smell like the cans do. Thanks

Great informative vid! Can you suggest a good air brush...….Thanks...….Steve

I bought a Panther V Toon Tank and I'm going to use it for my first ever airbrushed model. Wish me luck and StuG with it.

SUPERBE 👍👍👍👍👍
