Went for some old school flames, havent done any flames in a dozen years. Not great, but not bad either. Used up some Proline water based paint I had on hand, and still getting used to my new Iwata air brush. Wouldnt think a new airbrush would make much difference, but the grip position feels a bit ofd after using a Badger 150 for 30 + years 🫠

Great job! The flames look great and I agree with @Doom! The orange is 🔥

Isn't that a form of animal cruelty?... But on the other hand, using badgers as an airbrush - I just can't imagine the size of cohones you have to have to pull such stunt off! RESPECT! 🤣

But seriouly, that's a nice job and wonderful effect! And "the flames not looking like a work of art" make them even better in my eyes - being honest, how often do you see a "picture-perfect" flames on the full scale cars? Most of the flames are decals, and most of the decals are cheap ones that look like a fridge-quality artwork of a preschooler 🤪 So, actually yours are as realistic as they can be!

Once again: good job!

Obviously, he's a badger whisperer.

.....or, just a bada$$ badger wrangler!
