    in Paint

    I use Windsor and Newton Galleria for matt and satin they both spray well thinned with water and brush well too 

     

    For gloss I use alclad aqua gloss sprays beautifully and hard as nails when dry never tried brushing it tho

    Hi 

    Welcome back to the dark side 😀

     

    For glue I would recommend Tamiya extra thin or Revell contacta 

     

    For paint when I came back to modelling I switched from my old enamels to acrylic and my paint of choice is now Vallejo  

     

    But I am sure you will get many opinions on paint as it seems some get on with one manufacturer but not another 

     

    Hope that makes sense lol

    Be gentle now, first time post of a completed model on here. Took a while to get through this one as I  lost interest a few times due to dodgy fit and instructions but persevered and got there in the end I know there are a few omissions and errors but I just wanted it to end lol 😜

    SR-71 Blackbird, Blue ?

    in Aircraft Cold War

    Posted

    Hi 

    Next up for me is a 1/72  SR-71A Blackbird my problem (among many ) is finding a colour to finish it in I have read it was painted a very dark blue but when I search for pictures depending on light and angles etc it can look anything from Matt black to almost silver I was thinking of using Tamiya rubber black XF-85 but might be to dark ?  Any thoughts or (polite) suggestions welcome 

    Spray booth

    in Airbrushes

    Posted

    I use this spray booth E420 with exhaust vent sticking out open window http://www.airbrushsupplyonline.com/buy/portable-airbrushing-spray-booth-extractor-e420-with-extraction-kit_78.htm

    It works well enough, although I still see some spray outside the booth while spraying. It could do with being slightly bigger and perhaps having a more powerful motor I think.

    I do wear an organic solvent and particulate respirator as extra precautions while spraying. I have also added some led strip lights to the lid of mine as it is somewhat shaded in the booth, as mentioned in this thread

    http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234993229-led-lighting-for-spray-booth-updated-with-pictures/?hl=%2Bspray+%2Bbooth+%2Blighting

    I hope this helps!

    Hi

    I use the same one as Brianl has linked to. It works fine and a bonus for me is it fairly easily folds down to a smaller size for storage

    I just sprayed a 1/72 Lanc in mine it was a bit tight mind but still worked ok
