Now if only I could figure a way to airbrush tartan, the Jacobites would be easier too :-)

That's only available in enamels, PITA to airbrush, but the Humbrol Authentic Tartan range should give you all the tartans you need for a good Jacobite rising. Their cap dicing is excellent too.

Bah! I used Humbrol Authentic Tartan 1 (Government Sett) for my Black Watch and it included a red overstripe! :hair:

You must have got one of that mis labelled Cameron of Erracht batch.

ET, the scale depends on how quickly you swipe the brush, 1.25 seconds each side whether 54mm or OTS.

Ahh, I'd better adjust my nozzle before it spurts too much.

Just make sure you’re wearing PPE ET.

That Hannoverian looks good, an intriguing approach. Thanks for sharing that, I might experiment with a batch.

I once ordered tartan Velcro just because it was on the list of MOD supplied colours. It never arrived, probably restricted to Highland regiments.

Not a problem I have had for a decade or two.

FTFY.

On thinking about it more, didn't the 42nd's grenadier company have a red overstripe?
