This video is the second in the series looking at building and painting a 1/72nd Scale Revell King Tiger, or Tiger II, with the home made Zimmerit applied in episode 1.
You can watch that film here:

This time, I apply primer and a tri-tonal German camouflage scheme using Mission Models acrylic paints. To apply the scheme, I used a Gaahleri GHAC-98D for the bulk of the painting. It coped pretty well with multiple paint changes and applied a fairly good paint job, even if it started to clog after a while. It still ended up doing well though. You can get Gaahleri products below and I will post a more detailed review of this particular airbrush in the future - at this point I am just getting used to it and a new range of paints.
If you are interested, the GHAC-98D with 0.38mm and 0.5mm needles/nozzles, is currently retailing at $89 - prices correct at time upload and available at - gaahleri.com/?ref=Scale%20War%20Machines. Use the link or voucher code 'scalewarmachines' to get 10% off.
In the rest of the film, I cover detail painting, filters and washes and weathering, including using some new AK Interactive products. Watch after the credits for how I made the simple base.

00:16 - Mission Models Primer
01:05 - Preshading Black/Brown
