First of all, thank you both for the feedback. Romeo, that helped a lot it starting to get a good dilution, I will try to do that. I'm building the A380 with the Emirates decals on it, hopefully it won't get that bad. @Skodadriver, thanks a lot. The compressor is a cheap one, I though that for starters, that would be enough, but I agree with you. If I find myself getting better at this, I may consider buying a better compressor and airbrush. Regarding the thinner, I'm using the one from Revell (I will use it for the Humbrol paints as well, I believe it's ok). Priming is also something I will do, I bought the Mr Surfacer 1000 (I believe that's the name) from Mr. Hobby, and also bought the Mr. Hobby thinner for it, even though it wasn't necessary probably. I will give it a test with an old Airfix model I have here, just to test the dilutions, it seems it really is the most difficult part of all this process 🤣

Hi guys, I've always been fascinated by the world of aircraft modelling, but only now I've found the "courage" to start, and it seems I started with an easy one 😆 I now it will probably look like crap, but still, I'm giving the best I can to look decent, and hopefully improve my skills. For that, I bought a relatively cheap airbrush, for starters I found that enough. However, I'm having serious troubles working with it. I found out that the paint dilution (I have some enamel revell paints, while other are from Humbrol) is a critical point, but it seems I can't get it right. How do you guys do it? Do you have any tips? Or do you do it on a trial and error basis? Does any of you know the dilution factor for the revell paints? Thanks a lot, hoping to having a nice build at the end.
