Hello fellow modellers. I only brush paint at the moment. On a one colour coverage I manage to avoid brush strokes. However, when applying the darker camouflage to a model (in standard RAF patterns) I use a smaller round brush and the paintwork tends to be patchy and highlights the brush strokes. Do any more experienced modellers have any tips or advice they could impart please? Thanks for reading.

I'm now getting back into the hobby after a 30+ year absence, and I need to replace my old dried up Humbrol Enamel tinlets, and wanted to go the Acrylic route. Are the Xtracrylix range ok for hand brushing?

I've been reading the build reviews in several modelling mags & it often refers to 'dry brushing', especially when talking about finishing a section e.g. a cockpit. What is dry brushing? Surely when you dip a brush in paint it becomes wet (or am I just being a bit thick here?!). Perhaps it's using a dry pigment like ground up pastel or a weathering powder. Can someone please enlighten me. Thanks, Andrew (Currently saving up for a compressor so I can use my airbrush properly & finish the 1/72 Airfix Sabre that's all built, pending painting. May have to start my Airfix 1/72 Vulcan while I wait)
