I'm shocked and happy with you comments guys - thanks a lot!!!!!!
I think the bottom line here is that I'm better with a digicam than an airbrush

cos it's for sure my second one.
I really enjoyed making this model and it's sure nice to hear compliments from you guys - some of the best modelers around. Now I gotta try even harder on my next ones
Again, thanks to all of you for sharing your experience and I hope that I can contribute smthg useful once in a while, too.
