OK….my question, if this forum will not be a sucky bag of crap Can you paint 28mm in rattle can with good results or is an airbrush required? Thanks |

Not sure what rattle can is but I use Testors Spray Cans all the time as a base coat. If you use very thinned Vallejo paints for camo patterns you can simulate the feathered edge effect you get with air brushing. Hope that helps! Cheers! |

rattle can = spray can Reading so many posts from our friends across the pond I've just taken to their vernacular. |

In some ways I like the rattle can result better. Tanks in WW2 were painted with airguns at the depot, mops and brooms at the front line level. You cannot be inaccurate unless you dip your tank. To avoid the 'toy' effects, weather and drybrush. |
