Used my shiny new compressor machine today and i love it!! Quick to fill the tank but when it swtiched off i thought oh no whats gone wrong:angry: ,then D'oh its meant to do it

Gave it another coat of Tamiya LP racing white, next up paint seats, radios etc then varnish, then dirt etc

Not 100% that the racing white is ok for the ivory???





steady as she goes :thumb2:

As far as I know it’s too light and too white Ivory is basically a very pale sand colour, I think.

I know its been debated for years, but i agree Jakko. Might add a bit of dunkelgelb? Then re spray

[BattleshipBob]

Found in the stash the Ammo interior paint set, never used Ammo paints.

To be fair it sprayed well without thinning and does give a more ivory with a hint of cream.

Happy but no expert on what is right or wrong!!

Hi Bob
Just caught up with this. Glad you're on the mend and allowed out. Build looks good. Very neat and well researched. I like the dio idea although not sure where the pole would break but I do feel the missus should have been more cooperative regarding your desire to 'get things right'.

Don’t use them over bare plastic, is my experience. I brush-painted some onto a part and it beaded up almost as if I had brushed water on there instead of paint. After letting it dry a second coat covered the remainder, but it would have been better to put a coat of some other brand of paint, like Tamiya, on first as a pseudo-primer.

I think they are fine through airbrush...just not suitable for brush painting, despite what it says on the bottle.

I’m not convinced they’re good for airbrushing onto bare plastic either

Worked fine for me...but if I tried to touch anything up with a brush, then experienced the same droplets you refer to.
