Default What is your favorite method for detailing your foamies?

Airbrush, Markers, Iron-on, Vinyl, paint brush or whatever you do to make your planes look nice, what's your top pick?



Oh and feel free to post any brand/type that works best for the foamies!

Thanks!

I was going to paint it, but got impatient.

So I used markers and cut vinyl

I'm a fan of airbushing the main colours, and self adhesive vinyl for markings. My aircraft are either left in "naked foam" for lighter weight (like the wings and nacelles on BF 110 below), or covered in brown-paper/PVA for toughness (like the fuselage)
