Hi Bobby
Nice little touches to the plastic figures. I'm going to put some Russian soldier ref in the reference section for you. Only one pic tho, sorry, but it is good reference for uniform colour.
Below is some tips for the
airbrush...
I think with an
airbrush the most important thing to get right is the consistency of the paint. It should be the consistency of milk.
Also,
airbrush in thin coats with the
airbrush far enough away from the subject so as not to make the paint run or the paint be too dry on contact. When you paint your tank this is probably going to be around 12" away.
Personally I'd get used to the brush before committing to the model (I think I'd do this with any new
airbrush I was buying - just to get the feel).
If it's your first
airbrush, and you've bought a dual action one, you will need to get used to the control of both paint flow and air pressure through the brush. Once you have this control your ready for the model!
Lastly, look after the brush, clean it after each use and it should last you a lifetime.
Have fun with the airbrushes, I think you're going to enjoy it and get some great results!
Cheers
Paul
