Heres my second attempt at air brushing. It was bought as a undecorated SD7 and painted with Revel acrylics as the correct BN green was not available i just used "leaf green" in a satin finish and the black is just gloss black.The handrails were painted off the model i just held them with a pair of tweezers and sprayed,the white parts were picked out once they were installed.Microscale decals were used (another first) and the whole model got 3 coats of clear lacquer.It was a bit of a learning curve with the masking as it ran off slightly on the short hood and it went unnoticed until all the masking was removed,once i graduate to the weathering stage i dont think it will be noticed.The photos don't really do it justice the flash is a little harsh i perhaps need to experiment with different lighting in the future.
Definitely learnt a lot on this project.
 


Great work! Much better than my first one! The line between the black and green is very crisp. You already know the most important thing about airbrushing: mask well and the rest will look fine.
 
Missed your post the first time around but that is an A plus job for only a second attempt at airbrushing. Did you finally get the engine done? We want pictures. :)
