he was,who,s the lucky lad then,:hugging-face:
ever if I,did have a nice,good AB,I would just brake it some how,so sick,with the $25.oo one,sand I still brake them,:rolling:

Cheers Monica, for my brush painting I almost exclusively use Vallejo, but very hesitant to use it in airbrushes. I've used Tamiya for airbrushimg for many years. Cleans up easily. Will now try this AK stuff for the first time, wish me luck:smiling:.

only ever tried ,Vallejo,and it dose have it,s moments,somedays just seam that it,won,t work for me,how much I,thin it,
but then again,I only use cheap AB,and I,m not so kind to them,it seams,so,or I just battle the whole,time,
one of these,s things,:crying::confounded:

Don’t try the standard Vallejo paint in an airbrush — I tried the other week and had nothing but trouble trying to get it to spray at all rather than clog up the nozzle. Vallejo Model Air, though, sprays really well straight from the bottle.

oh how true you,are,had my amount of battles with it,:fearful:

[Strenko J]

I’ve used this along with Vallejo paints and some Vallejo thinner with very much success. The Vallejo model Air has been good for me as well.

I've used Vallejo Model Color, thinned with tap water for many years. It takes a bit of experiment to get the mix right, but works OK for me. I generally mix up a small amount in a small plastic bottle ( and steel ball agitator ). It only lasts for a few days, so I ditch any remainder, and recycle bottle & ball

OK, not state of the art - a reboxing of the 80's Matchbox kit
[ATTACH]325630[/ATTACH]
I'd wanted to make the original for a while, but collectors had driven the price up!. So, when this popped up at the miserly sum of £12.99 delivered, from the well known Brazilian river sales emporium, I didn't hesitate.
I will say it needs a bit of work, but at that price....................................

If they reissued the Skyraider, I had some hopes they might have reissued the Kaman SH-2F Sea Sprite as well, which I think is the only 1/48 scale Matchbox kit I ever built, and have fond memories of. Alas, though, Revell’s web site doesn’t list it.

[Dave Ward]

Jakko,
I agree with you on the Seasprite, the only other 1/48 models are the Kitty Hawk versions, which don't have good reviews, and run at the £35-40 mark
