Started this build about a week and a half ago. So far I got the body airbrushed with Tamiya TS-50 mica blue, applied the decals and clear coated with Testors. I also did a little work on the chassis. More soon thanks for looking    |

Nice paint job and great decal work. That Tamiya paint looks great, did you have to thin it out a bit?

I don't use any thinner at all Tom. I decant the Tamiya paint right out of the spray can. Here's a couple of pics how I decant with a cut down straw. First I cut the straw in two spots so I can use the flexible part of the straw. Then hold the straw on the spray nozzle and spray a little at a time into the jar. Be very careful because the gasses mixed with the paint is going to want to bubble out of the jar. After the paint gasses out for about an hour and a half then you can stir it and put the lid on the jar and start airbrushing. For air pressure I normally spray this paint at 20 to 25psi. I hope this helps you out Tom. If you need to know anything else I'll be glad to help.    |
