I was goung to leave it dark yellow and then thought i have an airbrush I was scared of using it incase messed it up, I have a bit more to do on it because im not 100% with the camo patterns but loved the airbrush specially with the edges I now cant wait to use again

Looks really good to me. I had an airbrush given to me many years ago and still haven't used it. Been using Tamiya rattle cans for the limited amount of models I've built.

Thank you, I have had the airbrush for months and was scared stiff of using it, not scared now lol but am going to adjust the camo a bit
 
An airbrush is probably the easiest paint tool to use, once you practice with it. From a tiny 'soft' line, to a 1 inch spray pattern to paint a whole body. Just adjust the spray tip on a flat board..... then how much to pull the trigger. I am not an "airbrush expert", but I was coached by famous artists. My use was for large projects.

I assisted great artists, ( 1st 3 pics ) Then I turned a Continental into 'swiss cheeze".... Very fun !

Look at the off-road buggy. EVERYTHING on the side of the body is completely flat ( upper & lower panels). There are no rivets, vents, panel braces, etc. All airbrush. Pretty cool.... ( That was how I learned to paint swiss cheese holes on the Continental. ( Artist is the famed, Kenny Youngblood) I helped him on the Hot Wheels bodies also. ( headlights, grill, etc are smooth surfaces, all air brush work)

If you can hold a marker pen, you can airbrush)
 
Looks good! Keep practicing, that's how you'll learn, as you get more comfortable. As you go, you'll get more comfortable with free-hand airbrushing, with masking, with different settings on the brush, needs and tips of different sizes, etc.
