Cool. What type paint are you using? On the hunt for a cheap airbrush that can handle enamel....

Watching, Not on what you are building but how that Airbrush works. I picked one up not too long ago but have not used it.

Does the airbrush clean itself? Still looking for the self cleaner.

@Roy: I have been using Tamiya acrylics so far, no idea how it performs when using enamels.

@Robbie: As a complete airbrush beginner I think it works pretty good so far!

@bossy: I use Vallejo airbrush cleaner and som cotton buds and household paper.

Yeah, that's how I clean mine too. Or I just soak the whole damn thing in 91% alcohol, then clean it. Either way: pain in the ass.

In comment to your latest post the grainy texture I have heard called Orange skin. Air pressure too high and paint not thinned enough. Not sure that AB you can control air pressure but do recommend thinning the paint a tad more. This is why I wanted to follow your post.

Cheers

@Robbie: Thanks for the tip! I thinned Tamiya acrylics about 40% paint to 60% thinner. I tried setting the needle so that only a little paint is allowed out. I read in a guide that you should aim for the paint to look somewhat wet when applied to the model, which mine didn't.

Hopefully some of the more Air Brush pros will chim in. But I might thin to 50-50, and do light what they call 'misting' Again a lot of this is based on the behavior of the air brush. I got this AB just for the fact it did not have a cord and I can take it out to the back patio or garage to do mostly primer or basic colour blasts and did not have move a compressor.

@Michael: Thanks, I just ruined it by painting over half of it... Going for the Newchurch Wing paint scheme, hope it works out in the end.

I have the same observation about paint coverage on the Fieseler Storch I have on the bench. Only difference to your white is that I have a very dark green. I think it is more the pigment than the shade that determines coverage. I am using both Tamiya Acrylics and Vallejo air, and they both have advantages / disadvantages.

Looking good. 👍

That looks great, especially for a build of firsts and experiments.
