I totally understand. Airbrushes are very personal. I’ve produced around 200 kits since 2013 staring with a Neo and moving on up to an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.

It’s been a long time coming plus I’ve almost worn out my trusty Iwata, lol!!!

I’m very excited to have a HS after all these years. I’m looking forward to all the new spraying techniques I’m going to learn.

Last night I decided to assemble and install the road wheels to their boggies and paint them along with the lower hull rather than individually. I’ll finish the others this morning.

Also did some additional seam sanding along the forward fuselage and cockpit area.

Fran I had forgotten you lived in Porto Portugal! We were there last September on a river cruise. Absolutely loved the city and it’s people!!

Turned out to be a chilly rainy day so rather than take a trip over to the storage site to work on the Flair dashboard I decided to stay home, do some projects around the house and continuing to build my Easy Eight lower hull. Completed steps 11 through 13 assembling the suspension boggies, remaining return rollers plus stapled the tracks together. That completes the lower hull.

Other than the rubber track, would rather see link in link tracks that come with many new Tamiya armor releases, it’s a stellar kit. I’m adding lots of stowage plus a Tamiya 1/35 German bike to add interest.

Oh wow I had no idea!! There’s safety in numbers, lol!!! I look forward to following the other builds. Always looking for new ideas and techniques.

Possible rain showers today so enjoyed my morning coffee and assembled 2 drive sockets, 4 return rollers and 6 smaller return rollers in step 9 and attached them to the lower hull in step 10.

It’s a pretty sweet kit however a wish it had link in link tracks rather than rubber tracks. I do well painting and weather rubber tracks and have had folk mistakenly think that they were metal tracks. Personally I love the fit and realistic look of the link in link tracks.
