It's dead Jim.

Yep, my airbrush is pretty much useless unless I wnat a large area spray gun. Soaking it overnight in Fairy Power Spray hasn't done anything detrimental to it but the same problem I was having still persists and I don't think an ultrasonic cleaner will resolve the issue. I think it's needle related because when I spray without the needle in the airbrush works fine. When I put the needle in and pull back fully it works fine. When I try to only pull back a little bit it pulses and then stops pushing water through. I get the feeling I've somehow bent the needle.

So, I've ordered a new one, luckily I'm only replacing an £11 China cheapo airbrush, not the £60-£70 Harder and Steenbeck Ultra that I plan on buying after xmas.

I was really looking forward to getting on with more of this build at the weekend.

On a brighter note the stuff I ordered to make decals for my Revel 1/48 UH-1 build has arrived, so hopefully I'll be decalling that up at the weekend instead...
