Very strange results with Mission Models paints. Is this a chance that paints you’ve received was spoiled? Paints that I have works well. I am usually thin them 90 % paint 10 % thinner and 1 drop of poly. Sometimes 15 - 20 %. I've noticed that you thinned 20 drops of yellow + 5 drops of white with 15 drops of thinner. It is approximately 40 % of thinner. Here is my recent project painted with them without any issues: www.flickr.com/photos/max-rossomachin/albums/72157716598809998

Let me tell you something, Uncle Night Shift. You have no need to apologize for your airbrushing skills, nor for using Tamiya paint. I have over 60 years modeling experience (started in 1959) and I CAN NOT STAND Vallejo paints and their ilk. I know there are people that swear by them. When I use Vallejo, I swear; usually a lot! There is a reason that Tamiya is a premier company. When I use Tamiya I have no worries about thinning, whether it will stick, or whether I can mask it. It does all of those things well. Plus, it is very cost effective. You can mix any color; camouflage, whatever you need. There are multiple recipes all over the net. At my age, I don't need the headaches that go along with a paint that won't stick, won't cover, or pulls up when you have to mask it. No. You did just fine! See you guys next week.

The red crosses are an interesting story, they were a pretty late war thing. The germans figured out (or made up) that the allies were aiming at them by pointing their sights at the white outline of the cross. As these were often on the sides and rear, and around where the crew was situated, the crews got a bit anxious about the obvious white outline. To ease their minds, the white outlines were painted over with red paint. That's why the red sometimes can appear a bit rough compared to the rest of the markings. There is a late-war StuG III at Aberdeen Proving grounds in the US that has its paint still intact, albeit very dirty, but with a red overpainted cross on the rear.

Funnily enough the same story is with the Americans and the White Star on their tanks being placed directly ontop of crew positions or ammo (namely the M4 Sherman series). German AT crews or tanks -after noticing the giant white star - would shoot the star or near it for a guaranteed kill/knockout so crews would paint over them in the field with a dark grey or black paint, making it a 'subdued' star or covering it with mud so it was harder for the enemy to see.

​@@Barabel22 While I cant answer why we used it for so long, it was phased out when the 3 Tone Camo was adopted. Though it most likely remained in service until 1975 as an easier way to identify friendly tanks as back then it wasnt as easy to keep track of whos who, I guess.

@@Barabel22 You don't put markings on a tank unless you want them to be seen. Knowing which of your tanks are which is more important than the enemy seeing some random writing that means nothing to them. If camoflauge is an issue you're going to have to do a lot more than just change the color of some writing on a 70 ton armored vehicle.

Seriously your work is a Masterpiece. Can't wait for the diorama.

I like how you show every product you use and explain as most as possible about it. Very informative and useful, that's why I love your videos.

Hi Martin! Very nice video!

Paint that figurine! Yes! Add them to ALL of your models!

Thinning paint for airbrushing is secretly easy. You just have to control two variables: paint viscosity and air pressure. That's it, really. It's that easy. The air pressure is the factor that forces the paint to atomise. The paint viscosity (thickness) is fighting the air pressure. If the paint viscosity wins that fight you get spluttering. To fix that you either increase air pressure or decrease viscosity by using more thinners. Finding the right balance is easy because there are only two variables in play. Usually between 1:1 and 2:1 of thinners to paint works with most paint brands.

...and this video is the reason why you're my favourite KZread modeller. Showing where you've had problems, not just the best takes of where things went well. Airbrush cammo is something I've always struggled with. Thank you for giving pointers where I can improve.

You are the Bob Ross of tank modelling!

"My friends, it's uncle nightshift and tonight we build my first warhammer 40k tank" .... Oh wait....

lol, you read our devious little minds when you put in that disclaimer about washing the model in the video

After i watched your videos i have just been IN LOVE with german armor, and i think you do a PERFECT job with your models.

I love your models, I hope one day I might make one that will be as good as yours. Thanks for all the helpful tutorials

"Not perfect but good enough" 😂 Your "good enough" is the perfect for us mere mortals! Bow down to the armour god 🙇. Loving your work 👍

I can't wait for every fridays because I can sit back and watch you build models, cause i'm too poor to get them all the time.

I wish my best camo airbrushing results were as good as your worst. Very nice outcome and inspirational!

Thank you , Uncle Martin .

I love your channel because most modelers are very serious or don't talk or do much commentary at all. You are hilarious and I wish more modeling channels will follow your example.

Tbh the green camo pattern at 14:43 looks really good in my opinion, like almost just as good as the ambush camo

"look at this amazing model I painstakingly constructed. Now watch me pull it apart."

Thanks for your in-depth product analysis. Your builds are inspirational.

I love how all of them have the mr something

Ah night shift. My week isn't complete without your videos

one of the few german paint jobs on youtube that doesnt look like a candy box, looking forward to the weathering

Once again a delight, this one is looking gorgeous! Thanks uncle Night Shift, have a terrific weekend!

Love your videos! I like how you encounter difficulties and explain them. Makes me feel I'm not alone :)

Been a great day thanks to you! Thanks👍👍👍

ever since i found your channel ive been keeping up to date as soon as they come out, love your work man ❤

Finally you released it! Thank god i cant really wait but now its here.

Wonderful to watch as usual. Excited to see the weathering.

All I can say is WOW. What a fantastic job over all.

Thanks for your videos buddy. I came back to the hobby after many years and your tips are very helpful, especially with painting, as I’m absolute begginer with it 👍

Your videos both inspire me and make me realize how little my skills have progressed in 40 years of model building. Thanks :-)

Fantastic work Martin! Love the look of the Jagdtiger so far.

You are restoring this tank and I'm amazed you can make this accurate camouflage in color

This is perfect! Right in time for my 1/16 jagdtiger from Trumpeter.

Fantastic job!

Your channel makes me realise I really miss this hobby!!!! Can't wait to get back one day

Lovely camouflage, fitting for this tank destroyer.

Your models are just awesome👍👍👍👍

Love your work! Keep it up and love how you work through and your commentary. I just bought the same airbrush from your commentary too. Best of luck!

Wonderful model and a great achieved camo. It looks elegant.

Congratulations Jason for a very fair review. Cheers Phil

Really appreciate the longer videos!

I can advise you Vallejo Flow improver!! If you airbrush water acrylics, this magic thing fix all problems you told. 👍

The highlight of my Friday is watching these videos

Great job! Thanks for the airbrush tips also.

Lovely job.

Realistic and gorgeous job on the camo, thumbs up!

MARTIN!!!!! Beautiful paint job, my man. Beautiful.

Nice progress on the camo scheme. I have used cut down bristles on a small brush for the disc camo before. Looking forward to seeing the weathering

i think you did a really great job on that camo, i've been a little scared to try it with the airbrush but you just showed me that it can be done. thank you

Magic camouflage! 🖤😳🖤

Wow that’s looking great

I see NIGHTSHIFT sitting in the mall doing dioramas while you wait. ... I want a stug 3 in winter scenery ... no problem. 10 minutes. :D

Love watching these

For decals you should try “solvaset walthers”, it’s perfect for any surface (smooth, rough, etc)

Congratulations on this project. Greetings from Argentina

i love it man. i usually do aircraft but thanks to you i have a massive shopping cart ready with a Tiger 2 and a bunch of products you use as well to see if i can make a tank look decent. cant wait.

Nice. Very good job.

Great video

In my experience, cleaning an airbrush is easy with Tamiya paint and Isopropyl. No need to pull the airbrush apart. Just pull the needle, wipe once and flush with the cheap Isopropyl Alcohol. I only strip my brush once every few years. Been shooting gallons of Tamiya for over 20 years. Same airbrush as well and all the seals are as good as new.

Very nice painting! Cheers.

*No problem for waiting a NS video, the pleasure is total! 😲🤩*

Another great video from a great modeler!!! 👍👍👍

Canadian viewer. Really nice job. I tried Mission Model paints....not for me. I gave them to my brother...about 35 bottles. I went back to Tamiya and good old lacquer thinner....bullet proof combination.

Excellent video. Can't wait till next week.

Loving it, really enjoying this series. 😉👍 AK real colour every time now for me...I have cleared out every other problem brand as I was soooooo tired of dealing with their individual problem issues and colour shades.

Looks great, Martin! Yes, those Takom decals are a pain. I have to use many many coats of Walters Solvaset to get them to sit down properly.

Nice job Sir

Great job!!

That's BRILLIANT

Best time of friday is NOW!

Hmm...red decals...it's a stoned jagdtiger! jokes aside, epic result my man!

That is awesome my friend

Nice work! Makes me want to work on my Meng jagdpanther today

Awesome again!

The issue with being unable to brush paint mission models paints over each other without reactivating the paint beneath can be solved by adding their Urethane drops to the paint (not to be confused with their thinner, it's a 3-part system).

Nice work!

Epic video as always
