Thanks a lot. I appreciate the input.
This thing with thinning the paint is driving me insane.
I used mostly enamels before, then I just recently switched to the acrylic range. I used for the Japanese aircraft mostly mr color from Gunze; however the Italian colors are not well represented in that range, so I got Italeri acrylics. These seem fine at first but they simply do not stick to the plastic. I tried a prime coat before and it got so thick the airplane looked like a panzer. I assumed it was because in airbrushing it would settle better (never could try)... Not sure though how to solve this. It is frustrating.
But I'm sure this is the place to get the help and solve that one too
Thanks again

Anyone who brush painted that camo and made it look that good should be proud of themselves.
Couple of things I notice. I am not sold on the bone wax as filler. It looks like it makes an awful mess. Have you tried regular white putty and sanding?
Paint in thin coats even with a brush. If you need a second and third coat fine but try not to glob the paint on.
You are making leaps and bounds in improvements. Don't ever give up. We all get discouraged. Just like this guy:
