Have you guys seen this month's Fine Scale Modeler? There is an article showing a method for airbrushing camo on aircraft and armor.

Have any of you fine folks tried this? It looks like a pretty darn good method.

I got the Saturday, haven't read that article yet, but I saw the pictures.
I've used a variation of it with clay. Don't know what it's going to do with the paint sprayed on it as far as reuse? The method works.

This feature is available on Fine Scales Web site. It is also available for download in .pdf format. Here is the link to the article. I am going to have to try this trick. I wonder if it can be used to mask off road wheels.
