I was able to run water through the airbrush. Next I thinned the paint and tried the airbrush again. I was able to cover the test parts with white spots. The paint is currently 2 parts paint/3 parts thinner. I will try more thinner. I am getting closer.
small, I may have to hit it with a hammer to get it to work.... As soon as it is working I want to prime both planes. Then I will start on the F5. I cannot make up my mind how to paint it, to many choices.
It's OK.I was wonder if your airbrush is able to paint a small area ( as you said - small spots) due to its quite small in diameter nozzle or spitting spots with a paint for instance.
I am not sure, I am thinking that it will. I was painting grey plastic the other night. I could see where the paint was on the plastic but it was hard to see. It was late so I did not spend much time with it. I will try once I have time to try multiple passes. I hope to start painting this weekend unless I get called out of town. I could always paint the F5 hot pink and use My Little Kitties decals on it......
I have paint! There is a plug in the paint cup. I had removed it earlier and nothing happened. I thinned the paint to 2 parts thinner/1 part paint and pulled the plug. The airbrush is now working. The plug is nowhere on the instruction sheet. I should be painting this weekend.
After looking at the pannel lines, I think I should use masking for the pre-shading. I do not want to try so many lines free hand. I may ave a couple of pictures to post early next week.
