AndyL Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nice job with the riveting. I don't have the patience to complete such a task, but you have shown it enhances the build, and is well worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Starting to look the part now, isn't just great when you first start to lay the first colours down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcdb71 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi all just got some colour on xtracolour rlm 83/75 then open there rlm81 braunviolet it was green so decided to use humbrol 133 brown. First time doing luftwaffe aircraft paint scheme. Was really pleased with result UNTIL after finished spraying I got this i dont know why if someone could give me advice on how to remedy this I would be really grateful. Got a snakeskin finish. Never had this happen before. I used cellulose thinners mixed at about 60/40 (thinners/paint) I do spray in my garage at 8-10 psi it wasn't cold outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlemaster Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 HI Marc What a shame with the paint but im sure it wont take long to sort out . I think your problem isn't a spray tequnice problem or air temp but a paint /paint reaction , possibly the celulose thinners not drying fast enough so it reacted with your faa sky grey . Try removeing with enamel thinners. Hope this helps Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was me as first time with airbrush really appreciate your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank152 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It looks like you have you have put to much of a wet coat on and cellulose is a hot thinner so has burnt through the previous layer of paint or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit late now but if I was you I wouldn't touch it at all today, let everything go off and stop reacting. I know that'll be hard to do but you may make things even worse if you don't. I know its a set back for you but it'll be fixable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
