Today of course is the the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Rather than modelling I've been reading numerous articles and looking at many photos of this historic day and one particular photo has caught my eye, from a modelling perspective.
Reading the account that goes with the photo it tells how ground crews were only told the night before that they had to paint invasion stripes and so used anything from paint brushes to brooms to get the job done. And then, of course, being England there was a storm and it rained all over their paintwork...
So from a modelling perspective I was wondering. Is this the one time when we modellers don't want a fine airbrush finish? Would a rough brush finish actually turn out a more accurate model?
