Tomcat Fan Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I use moslty Model Master white or Revell gloss white, I hate painting white becouse it take awfull lot of time to paint it.. You must take it slow, not to drown all details in white coat... slow thin coat of paint let it dry some between coats and then again paint and paint... that painting of white took me about 3 hours... today I'm painting red.. again more than 1 hour... I make my paint very thin... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faab104 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 ...it's so long. I use acrylic Tamiya XF-1, very good coverage, and dry quickly when paint+alcohol in the airbrush. Do it twice and then a gloss. Perhaps you don't use acrylics but it's very easy and fast for colours like white, or red, yellow ... Good luck for the red ! hope I see it soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
