I had some fun airbrushing this evening. Vallejo Flow Improver is supposed to only be added in minimal amount, however I had success adding a lot, but only when cutting down on thinner. I also airbrushed around 20 psi, and it worked nicely once I figured out when the paint was thin enough.

I intend to finish airbrush on some light gray and a little silver, and a black nose, and then carefully airbrush on Humbrol Clear, or, I will maybe try out Pledge, but I haven't airbrushed Pledge before so maybe a bad idea to not having tested that out. Yes, I'll just use Humbrol Clear, which I am somewhat familiar with, airbrushed on with ca 8 psi, close up, wet-in-wet, and in patches.

This isn't a magnum opus, but I built this kit and used it for paint practice, but trying my best. I do realize that, for the future, I must try to remember to always test spray the paint mix on some scrap part, every damn single time, to figure out when the paint is thin enough.

Working with only Vallejo Model Color, the thicker paint, using a sift isn't as easy as when using Vallejo Model Air paint which is more watery. It seems that, if I just finish with drops of flow improver, I get all the paint through the sift into my tiny 10 ml mixing jar.
