So overall, I seemed to have the basics OK, got the colour order mostly right, avoided big spplats of paint and runs.
One big mistake - mask not thick enough. Was impatient and applied it with the airbrush. Even though I did many coats, it wasn't enough. Will use LPHV gun in the future.
This was a Tamtec replica shell so a practice and bashing job. Think I'll dial back my ambition for the next one and focus on getting the basics right! Was quite pleased with the blue to purple fade so might do something simple based on that.
