I was so VERY happy when I pried the lid off the first tin and smelled that familiar odor! :-love I've got a couple dozen Humbrol tins that are of the same vintage and I suspect they'll all be good to use. The thing that impressed me most was that the two I've already used were some that had been opened in the past, the last time in the mid-eighties. Great stuff!!!!

You're correct on that, Sall!

I must confess a secret belief of mine--I'm not all that fond of acrylics. :-paper I grew up with zinc chromate primer, lacquer and Imron paint and using water as a reducer just never seemed to make sense.......but I'm slowly learning to adapt.

Firmly believe that the older products (before 20 or 30 years) were much better than those today.Not only in modeling, but in general.Today everyone is looking for a profit, and this decreases the quality.Before it was not that, at least not so much as today. :-paper

I sprayed the white with my trusty Badger 350 that is about thirty years old. I was painting something else and just slapped the paint on this at the same time. I masked it off in a big hurry with the first thing I could find--it happened to be low-sticky masking tape. It does look like I'm using battery acid for paint, doesn't it! :-danger (My finishing airbrush is a Paasche but I was priming with the Badger today and was too lazy to clean both of them.)

Here is the finished Il 2 from my workbench. It depicts the Hungarian-captured machine rebuilt from two damaged airplanes and test-flown by the RHAF. The references I had (not much more than the Wings Palette line drawing and a couple of web discussions) showed the national insignia were hand-painted so I replicated that effect by masking and spraying the markings. From what I could gather the top surfaces of the airplane had been repainted during the repair process, or shortly thereafter, so the upper portion is still fairly clean.

I have another single-seater and am planning on a VVS machine for that one.
