When it comes to Airbrushing I believe Less is just one of the best I have ever seen AN TRUE ARTIST
100% agree !!

FYI - We use the same type of airbrush, but that's where the similarity ends :idonno

Thanks for the kind words! 
DaneBramage,
I have seven airbrushes, some of them are the more expensive ''detail'' airbrushes and though they are excellent airbrushes I have found the simple low cost Iwata Revolution BR to be ideal for painting scale models, it has a wide performance envelope that can spray mottles on 1/144 scale models all the way up to painting scenery on my airbrushed backdrops. If you are looking for a good all around airbrush consider the Revolution BR.
The disruptive camouflage pattern on this He 162 is really effective, when I take this model outside to get in-progress pictures it blends in quite well against a natural background. The Germans were on to something when they developed the ''Ambush Scheme'' for their armor.

Thank you Dusan and James!
Dusan,
I have the Tamiya He 162 kit but have not built one yet, I would say the Tamiya kit is better than the Revell He 162 but not by much...even though the Tamiya kit is the smaller scale it has really good detail. I don't care for the way Revell did the ejection seat, its not nearly as good as it could have been considering the scale.

Dave,
Funny that you would ask that, I have a 1/48 scale Tamiya King Tiger I bought a few years back just for the purpose of painting the Ambush scheme. Sometime next year I plan to build it but before that I will attempt to build a 1/35th scale Tamiya Panther, the Panther will be practice for building the KT.
Armor kits are not my thing and I figure there will be mistakes aplenty.

This thing is now finished, I wonder how much dust it will collect before I can get outside to get some decent pictures...the clear skies and arctic temps have been replaced by fog and rain, its funny anytime I have new models finished the weather turns sour. :idonno
No, not a model but it is a He 162 that has most of its original RLM 82 over 76 camouflage paint intact, the markings are bogus and were applied postwar.

Wow, all the more amazed these guys would fly them!
