rotorwash Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The deck and vehicles are great, Oliver, but personally, I am glad to see the HELO coming together! Just out of curiosity, how do you clean your airbrush between colors? It looks like you spray a dozen colors at one session and I try to clean mine out thoroughly between colors. I'm guessing you don't do that or you'd never get finished! It's coming on great though. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Hi Ray, yes finally back on the helo. the only time i clean my airbrush thoroughly is when I spray silver colors. In between paint sessions I use windex to wipe off the last color and the tip.....so kind of cleaning.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Huh, didn't know that was even out. The model is looking good as always. You are the master Oliver! So, do you spray Windex thru the airbrush to clean it? Do you flush the Windex out with anything? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do spray water after to rinse out the windex. I am not sure when the book came out but it has so many great photos to work from. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
