A great job on this 251! The camo looks fantastic. What was your airbrush setup for the camo? Looking forward to the next project. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺!

[@afv-studio]

Hi Gary, Thanks. I usually spray at around 20psi but with thinner paints I will drop to around 15psi. The airbrush is an H&S Infinity with the standard 0.4 needle and nozzle. I have just purchased an H&S Evolution (2024) which has the new 0.28 nozzle. From testing I can say its it is more capable than its big brother. The redesign that H&S are doing to all there range this year is amazing. You can see that one in action when I paint the next project.

I built this model a few yrs ago..wish I viewed this vidieo I could have some great paint ideas for it...

[@afv-studio]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@александрсамойлов-ж3ч]

Very cool video, as a beginner I enjoyed watching and learning. If possible, could you make a similar video with aviation? I would really like to see the basic techniques and techniques for painting aviation, thank you very much for the cool, useful video!

[@afv-studio]

Thanks. Unfortunately I have no plans for aviation right now. However I know a lot of these techniques will transfer and are used similarly on Aviation modelling. Thank you for having a look here 👍

Satin varnish and matt varnish?

[@afv-studio]

Satin before pin-wash, Matt when completed

[@astrocat1128]

Didn’t see how to do the crew?! Sad😢

[@afv-studio]

It might be something I start to do in the near future. At the time I painted this I felt my figure painting was passable at best.

[@rrl4245]

Nice! The only aspect I think you may have missed were markings on the rockets. There is some photo evidence of stencils on them. It would be logical to assume. And it would be a cool detail...

[@afv-studio]

Thanks. Absolutely right there would have been markings on the rockets. It would have been nice if Dragon have supplied some decals for them. I did think about attempting something by hand but I dont think I could have made a decent job of it 😓

[@rrl4245]

At that scale, any markings would look good. I use old dry-transfers from aircraft modeling (Verlinden). You can't read them, but they do look like printed markings on munitions.

[@afv-studio]

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that. @@rrl4245

[@stanikicin]

I think the wooden hanging ones look artificial;

[@afv-studio]

Thanks for watching

Awesome work! But too much chipping.

[@afv-studio]

Thanks for taking a look

[@BoxxArt]

Absolutely overboard with the chipping. Sometimes less is more.
