I usually just use regular store bought lacquer thinner. I always empty out the thinner after I am done. I strain it through a paint strainer back into the container. I find it doesn't harm the finish of the airbrush, but it might damage the seals inside. Other than that, maybe give purple power a try. I have also had really good results with LA's Totally Awesome. I use this to strip paint from model car bodies and it doesn't harm the finish on the airbrush. Of course, always test it out first.

Tamiya has their new laquer paints in the bottle. If you can source some, they might be worth trying. I think there is a seller on Ebay that sells them. Also, Gunze GX2 is a really good gloss black. I thin mine with either Tamiya laquer thinner or mr. Leveling thinner.

Love the weathering! The flat tires are a nice touch!

Incredible finish! With the troubles you had, it sure turned out stunning!

Love the work so far! That cockpit looks fabulous!

Any day, now. I'm sure of it.☺

I just realized that this thread is now 10 years old and still running. Record for longest running thread?

She's probably 20 years old by now, but she looks brand new! Well, except for the canopy.

Got the stitches out today. All is well. Should heal up nicely.

Spot on!

The doctor said it didn't look too bad. He went ahead and put in three stitches so it could heal faster. It'll make one cool scar, though!

I have the imigur app on my phone. The linking features don't seem to be there anymore. I just gave up on them. Trying out fotki now.

Happened yesterday at work. I managed to cut my middle finger with a jig saw. Fortunately, nothing too serious, but could've been.

Duh! I should have read the topic header a little bit better! I hope it all works out! Those markings look tricky.

Looks great! Any idea on what markings it will be?

My sincerest sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.

Another top notch model. I think this one is my most favorite one you have done so far! You nailed the canopy! I'm also interested in the brand of nail polish you used for the canopy.

Another top notch build! Don't sell yourself short. That is a stunning build by any means!

Long time, no see! Always loved your builds! Exceptional model!

Doogs models on YouTube has a comparison video between the ps770 and the custom micron. Pretty much a direct comparison between the two. Might be worth checking out.

Such a neat looking aircraft!

He posted a while back that he was having issues posting threads here.

She's a beauty!
