TreehuggerI like the apparently smooth surface with the black primer. How did you airbrush on this black primer? Rattlecan or airbrush?
I read today on the back of one of my newest Vallejo primer bottles and it says to airbrush from a distance of 20 cm (presumably with psi at 30). But I've never dared keeping my airbrush that far off a model, so I guess I should experiment with this.

Marian C.Thank you guys.
@Treehugger - it was airbrushed with Procon PS-290 airbrush.
