As a brush painter myself,I use enamels for light colours and acrylic for dark colours,thus eliminating the need for multiple coats.

I found your channel by accident but it is fun to watch. Good to know that there are still people using hairy stick for painting, not only airbrush and I am not as crazy as all modellers around me try to make me believe. So thanks for putting them here :) BTW - if you want to get 100% brush, then you can brush Tamiya Primer sold in bottles, thinned 2:1 (thinner:primer) with their Lacquer Thinner. It goes down very nicely. As for issues with Tamiya Paints: you need then thinned with dedicated thinner. While they can be thinned with water due to regulations in US and UE regarding kid toys it is still a lacquer paint, not true acrylics. With multiple layers the new one is reacting with previous one creating a mess. So use X-20A and, as stupid as it may sound, do not thin it too much. For Gundams I use 3:1 or 4:1 (paint:thinner) depending on color and 1 layer is enough to cover naked plastic (no primer)m no brush strokes and it sticks. For planes I thin more (2:1) as I want at least two layers for some shading and color blending on edges and solvent in paint helps with it but you need to be really careful with multiple layers. Tamiyas are cool paints and give great finish, but sometimes I wonder if they are worth pain when brushed. Still I have a lot left from airbrush times so I use them :)

Glad to see someone brush painting , can't be many of us out there !

I served in that squadron and worked on that aircraft. You have done a great job.

Very impressive skills. It shows that good results could always be with an brush. Amazing work

Great video. I learn a great deal from watching these videos, e.g. using masking tape around the putty, but so much more. Kudos and thanks.

Nice work. I'm about to restart painting an old Hasegawa 1/72 F-16N that's been a shelf/storage queen for nearly 30 years! 😁

Not sure you're still managing your channel. But thank you very much. It is so hard to find brushpainting guidelines. I always have difficulty finding thinner ratio and brush techniques. Your clips are so much helpful for me.

Fantastic job mate,well done 👍🏻

nice model of F-16 CJ, stay healthy !

Falcon Looks great 👍

beautifully done.. thanks for sharing

Lot of the time I will use spray paint cans to apply the base color such as olive drab for tanks and grey primer for airplanes, then use brush paint as a second coat. The AK and Vallejo paints lay down very well with very few brush marks. I use real high quality red sable brushes, they also clean up very well when used with acrylic paint, they get all gummed up with enamel and lacquer, I usually use an air brush or spray cans for car and motorcycle models for the high gloss look, But brush painting saves a lot of time from having to clean an air brush also from having to do a lot of masking for spray paint.

Vallego sells an Air War Color Series kit for USAF aircraft with the gray schemes from the 1970s' to the present . . . . . and include the three different tone grays used on the F-16. The kit comes with a total of 7 different tones of gray plus a primer. I bought a kit at Hobby Lobby for $ 17.

wish your channel a good luck!

Games Workshop says incease that model price by x4 well done man f16 is awsome

Wow.. nice work... wow...

Thanks for the video.

Nice job👍

Great work. Greetings. Aleš 😎 👍

Thank you makeing this video it help me a alot

Oh my friend, your videos very useful for me, i can buy airbrush but this way of painting not interesting me ,only brush painting. You did great job, my congratulations. 👍👍👍🤝

If you brush paint tamiya paint, either buy x-20 thinner or use isopropyl alcohol and thin it 1:1, since tamiya paint is a solvent based paint. Either way, you made a very nice model!

Good job, but here is some information for you, all American fighter jets from mid 1970's to now have their afterburners coated in Cobalt White heat coatings, and the after burners prior to the 1970's are usually either Cobalt Green J79's or Cobalt Gray (almost like a Gunship Gray) but a good Green to use is the U.S. Interior Greens or Zinc Chromate Green, also on the nose of your F-16 you accidentally cut off the Angle Of Attack (AOA) Probes, they where those very pointed bits next to the Sprue Gates. If you need any more questions answered on the F-16 Lawn Dart, I worked 8 years on them while in the U.S.A.F. plus I'm also the aviation historian for the Airman's Heritage Museum at Lackland AFB.

Perfect model! Something about brush painting Tamiya: i have painted MiG-27 by Zvezda with Tamiya XF-80 without thinner and panel lines are good-visible. Interesting fact: you can thin Tamiya with water when brush painting. It's strange with your Tamiya Neutral Gray...

Very nice job! I was wondering if you hand paint out of a dry palette, wet palette, or from a cup with paint/thinner mix? Do you thin your primer coat in 50/50 ratio also? In your opinion, what paint is easiest to brush paint for consistent coverage? Thanks.

Great build! Is there a primer you recommend that you can apply with a hand brush?

New subscriber Nice. Build

Hey man. Your technique is great and I would like some tips. What would you suggest in general, and what would you suggest I use as a filler so that it is non toxic? I have just started becoming more serious with my scale models. Thanks

Are you using Vallejo Thinner? or a generic brand for thinner? Thank you for your videos and content.

You can use acrylic for 2/1 paint water rate

Nice job, do you think you should have stuck with all Vallejo paints instead of that Dark Tamiya 5 coat job?

If you want to remove Tamiya paints, just use Isopropyl Alcohol, it will come off right away. Vallejo and Hataka (blue line) are excellent brush paint brands.

What kind of brush do you use

Do you use some special thiner for acrylic colors? Or just water? Is this necessary to get smooth painted surface?

Hi, after applying the wash, how did you remove it? Did you use thinner or just wipe it off? Also, what do you use to thin the paint?

What do you use to wipe away the wash after applying and how do you mix your wash 70-30?

Hi! Just stumbled into your video, wish I can paint brush my model like yours. Really nice I say...keep up the good job. Wish I can starting back to this hobby after long long leave.

Nice build and video 👍 Tamiya paints are horrible for brushing. Revell Aqua colors are much better.

Can you like what equipments and tools you need for this model?

3:03 Why did you cut off the missile location

Hello. Please can you tell me how did you paint the landing gear shafts (white) ,what color did you use for it , and how many layers did it take? I am a paint brusher too,and this is always a problem to me. Thank you, I like your video.

Im new and I brush paint and use acrylic, it leaves the brush marks how do I get rid of them?

No need for primer under Vallejo paints?

What Brand of brushes are you using?

How did you remove the bruahmarks ?

as a brush painter myself i can tell you you still have to improve more
