I'm also slowly fighting with that kit (double build together with PCM kit).
I found there is big mistake with canon bulges - they are much to the front, are You doing something with it? Is there anything else You're going to improve? The SH engine is also quite inacurate.
Did You chose specific finish plane?

This looks great Kubrt!
Can you be more specific as far as colors?
I'm starting to use Lifecolor and any advice will be very appreciated!
What do you need Thickener for?
Wait, watch, listen, then pounce!

I have used only "aproximate" shades of sand, green and brown, but doesn´t matter, because it is only base for thinned black wash...LazyCat wrote:

I have used for thinning mixture of original Lifecolor thinner with adding of 20% thickener - this is thinner for thinnig primer and colors!
Original Lifecolor Primer is indispensable for airbrushing Lifecolor paints!
1. step: base coat with Lifecolor Primer thinned with mixture original Lifecolor thinner with 20% of Thickener
2. step: airbrushing of camouflage colors thinned with mixture of original Lifecolor thinner with 20% of Thickener
