    Hi Laurie.

    I used a H&S Evo with a 0.4 needle, pressure 20-25psi and a very light touch on the paint. I did not thin the paint.

    I started going all over with just a light 'dab' of each colour to get an even 'spread' over the aircraft. I then went back and made each 'dab' a little bigger until I got the effect I wanted.

    I did not have to clean any paint off. I did get a little 'heavy' in a few places when the trigger slipped and where I did I oversprayed as appropriate to even the effect.

    I am by no mean an expert with an airbrush, I see a lot of work on here that I cannot match. But I do try out various effects and usually it ends up working out fine one way or another. A bit of bodging along the way helps a bit too!!!!!!

          What a great paint job. That would stand out (for all the right reasons) in anyone's collection. Very nice.
