Tip: Instead of airbrushing a tiny part on a painted model to fix some overspray or what not, it is very helpful and easy using a tiny Tamiya 87048 brush to add some tiny amounts of paint to fix some uneven paintwork.

Heh, I also learned that, if you know you will be adding a gloss coat, one can remove overspray by sanding it away.. So easy. 🙂 Assuming ofc, you don't sand through the first color layer and into the layer of primer paint. I like using a 2500 grit sanding stick for getting a fine surface.

Warning, in my experience, when sanding away paint with a 2500 sanding stick, the paint MUST be cleaned off with a say microfiber cloth, else the dust tend to remain and look bad when adding more paint.

AND, also.. the very fine paint particles is bad for you. So, imo best to sit outside and sand, and try no sniff the paint particles that comes off when gently sanding the surfaces smooth. That way one doesn't contaminate your inside surroundings. :|

Good point Treehugger, just been doing some sanding and was going to go over with a very soft toothbrush, will use a soft cloth.
