I have not used that particular brand, but I have been using the below airbrush. I am happy with it, but I considered it my first double action gravity feed brush. *Edit* Wanted to this also, while cheaper you can get replacement needles and parts online either through the store directly or through Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/NEOECO-Self-Centring-Nozzle，0-2-Dual-Action-Replacement/dp/B0BW5MFYV5/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=3IW2FVCG8ZZGO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9znZZZIUjz48YiOMvaD5SBRvbjm15RP8jS0cMjaE_g_m-K67QrDkd9_upP48JEcH9d7_gurxvq_0T9r6O_WE_Ia6ivI5SFTG08yplrlL6LgcrEWg30Ur9ksFPkpDfpb_q

If you wish to not use oven cleaner or anything overly harsh Simple Green gets my vote. Also Isopropyl alcohol works really well. My understanding it works on acrylic and enamel paints.

Looks amazing, great job.

True, but it is Mace Windu. he can sometimes be... different! 😆

Had the chance to work on AMT/Ertl's Jedi Starfighter from Star Wars Episode III. Wanted to build this in the color scheme of what I though Samuel L Jackson's character Mace Windu use. Great and fun build, would definitely try it again, just maybe not with the style of wing used.

I use Vallejo products with no issues. I have found that you just need to thin as needed. Vallejo Air takes a couple of a drop or two of thinner. more if you are intentionally trying to make the paints very thin so that you can layer the results. If you are using Vallejo Model Color, you need to at least do a 1 for 1 paint to thinner. Since that paint is meant for hand brushing, not airbrushing. The added bonus for me with Vallejo is the lack of smells that I get with lacquers and enamels.

Again glad that everyone enjoyed this build. Cubs2jets, I agree on an inflight build needing a pilot. The issue with this one is that I bought the model second hand and it was already started, and missing the pilot, so I had to make due with what was available. Also, the model's panel lines were sanded smooth on most of the surfaces, hence why it might look more basic than usual.

Greetings all, Thought I would take the chance to share on here my latest build. This is the old Monogram kit built in SEA camo scheme.

Oddly enough, I used some of the notes posted on here from that thread. Great stuff.

Ughhh... this is what happens when you are used to building jets, ad not prop airplanes. I will ask to have it moved to prop asap.🤣

Thought I would go ahead and share my latest completed build. Pretty fun and straight forward build, even with needing to beat the canopy into submission to make it closed. So I hope you all like and enjoy.

As with all things, just experiment and see what works for you and your set up.

Other than the lawyer jokes (married to a lawyer), you should have no problems using the same airbrush for spraying different paint types. As stated, just make to clean very well.

Just wanted to share my build of Hasegawa's F6F-5 in 1/32. It was enjoyable and my first Navy prop plane in a very... very long time. Ran into one minor issue dealing with gouging the plastic with my rotary tool, but all in all I am happy with how it turned out, even if the carpet monster ate the first pitot tube and I had to pick up a replacement.

Can not recall if I've commented, but Caracal's Decals were awesome for my F-16 build. Looking forward to using them again in the future.

This is a build based off of Hasegawa's IdolMaster boxing of the F-16. As with all things, I spent more on all of the additions then the actual model. Fun build, my first Hasegawa kit. The below was added to the kit for this build or used as a resource: · The Scale Viper: A Modeler’s Guide to Building the F-16 – Pete Fleischmann · The Modern Viper Guild, 2nd Edition – Jake Melampy · Decals: Caracal: USAF F-16C “Dark Vipers” part 4 · Royale Resin: antenna Upgrader Set · GT Resin 1/48 ALQ-184 ECM Pod & F-16 Wild Weasel Set · Edua

Everyone, Had the chance to start this build 8 years ago as part of a contest. Got all the way up to the weathering stage waiting for everyone else to start. I just went ahead and decided to go ahead and finish it and share, so hope everyone enjoys it.

I have ordered from them a number of times, more than happy with the experience.

Calling this one done everyone, enjoy and let me know what you think.

Primed, painted and waiting to get the gloss coat on.

if you have access to SimpleGreen, soak it and brush it off.

An add on to the above question, has anyone had any issues using Tamiya's X-22 thinned with Tamiya's X-20A? I am limited with what I can use due to smells so nothing lacquer based if I can help it.

This is a resin kit, made by Multi-Verse Models. A fun, quick and enjoyable build that I used to practice marbling and black basing. Enjoy.[:P] Build Gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/191409677@N03/albums/72177720305310516

I believe the version of the kit I have is the prototype version. It comes with the AMRAAMS and no provisions for the third (inner most) set of pylons. I might just need to work the AMRAAMS into a close proximation of the Meteor's at this point.

The standard answer of thinning to the consistency of 2% milk works. For my set up, I usually do about 20-30% thinner to paint, but then I am usually doing thin layers. There have been times where I will just do only a couple of drops of airbrush thinner to the paint. The most important thing I have found is to use airbrush flow improver. The paint does have a tendency to dry at the tip and it does help.
