RE: Advice on paint guns
Thanks very much Jeremy, Good information which is not readily available.
I enjoy painting models, but don't do it often enough to get good at it. I have learned that there is no real substitute for experience, so your tips are invaluable.
One thing I have learned, thanks to you, is I thin paint exactly as the manufacturer recommends. I used to over reduce paint, and this gave good slick results, but I was always battling with runs and needing several coats, which picked up more dust. (And dust is always an issue). Reducing the paint correctly allows me to get a colour coat on in two coats, with no runs, even on a vertical surface.
This is my Super Bandit which I am using a base/clear coat system for the first time. Easy to apply. Wings painted and clear coated. Fuse is currently being based coated.
A tip from me, build a fuse stand that you can rotate the model on. This makes life much easier.
