Airbrush painting and chipping tutorial. Tamiya T-55 1/48 model tank

Hi everyone!
Today´s video is going to be all about airbrush painting.
I´ll take the tamiya 1/48 T-55 previously modified to our german and I will airbrush it for creating a nice faded yellow green. Later some heavy chipping will be applied on the armor, last but no least a protective coat of varnish will seal the whole process.

Nice will try the red primer on the T34 I have built, it contrasts well with the green.🙂

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks, red is green's complementary colour, so the contrast feels very pleasant to the eye. Maybe the red primer color is too saturated for my taste, next time I will use a darker red primer coat instead.

My Friend! You chose an outstanding Russian vehicle. Your techniques for basecoating and chipping works very well, especially your chipping method. I'm looking forward to your next videos. Thank you for sharing.

Muy buen video y muy buen material en tu canal 👏👏👏 pero un pequeño comentario, en la crisis de 1961, en Berlín, los T54 eran soviéticos, no del NVA, en parte, las telas que tapaban los números eran para generar la duda

Hola jrrd65!
Siempre ha sido un acontecimiento que captó mi atención
Supongo que me centré en la parte más modelística de la cuestión. Sinceramente desconocía el origen de estos carros en particular, muchísimas gracias por el aporte.
Un saludo!

Es un momento apasionante con M48 y T54, corriendo unos contra otros, frenando justo en la frontera. Yo tengo en mente hacerlo con un T54 de miniart

Hi, could I ask how much you dilute the Vallejo acrylic varnish please, and also what pressure you airbrushed it with. I'm really enjoying watching all your videos thank you.

[@notjustpanzer]

I'm not too accurate when I dilute paint or varnish, but I guess I use a diluting ratio of a 50-50% with Vallejo thinner.
Thanks for your support!

[@ste022]

@@notjustpanzer No thank you, I've been having issues spraying it lately and kept getting a frosted finish. I think I had been using too high a pressure, I've dialled it back to 15PSI and it seems much better. Vallejo recommend 25% thinner but I'll try your recommendation and thin it a bit more. Keep up the good work your videos are excellent.

[@notjustpanzer]

If you got a frosted finish, maybe it´s due to a lightly thinned paint or on the other side you have been airbrushing too far away from the model and paint it´s almost dry when it hits the model@@ste022
