Country:  | Keep it up Les. I got back into modeling about 2 years ago. I bought about 10 kits, paints, and airbrush, etc. I started on a 1/48 P-47D and I still haven't finished it. Maybe as the weather begins to cool off in the garage I'll get back out there. |

Country: | Thx.... Just painted the first of 3camo colors, the Olive color.... How long do I wait for the paint to dry before removing the masking tape to start another color????
And will regular masking tape peel off my other color when I reapply the tape for the tan camo???

Country: | Alos, should I do more than one coat??? It has dried and looks good as far as the coverage goes... I would think that a second coat would further degrade the details of rivets/panel lines etc......
Comments??? Im getting antsy waiting on a reply......

For sure you shouldn't apply the tape before the surface of a colour isn't dry.The main acrylic paints faeture is to peel off with the tape if you didn't use a primer.It is the best if you use it or another kind of paints as a primer ( Humbrol's enamels have better ability to link itself with a base, for example).Certainly it also depends on how many layers of a paint you put or how the layer of a colour is thick.But if you are careful everything is mostly O.K.

Comments??? Im getting antsy waiting on a reply...... | If you use an airbrush and acrylic paints there shouldn't be any problem.With the oil enamels you should be careful.If you use a brush and acrylic ones put the next coat when the previous is dry ( it is said the acrylic paints are dry 4-5 hours later but in my opinion it is not true.Like all paints in all the world they need 24 hours to be dry.Try to put a very thin layer of a paint so the next thin one shouldn't degrade the details too much.
BTW It is better to wash all surfaces with a worm water and soap or some drops of liquid for washing dishes.

Country: | O.K. put thin layers of paint so it shouldn't be any problems with the two.But if the one layer of paint is enough to cover a surface, don't put the second one.If you use a tape of Tamiya or other ones for modellers everything will be O.K.

Country: | If you have any painters tape, that works good too. Use Elmers Glue for your clear parts. Avoid a paint scheme that makes judicious use of feathering.
This will help hide the fact that you don't have an airbrush.

Country: | Hi Les,
I think everything is OK..Have you mixed these colour,you have?For me the painting looks graet.Although a quality if the paint layers is not visible ( it is needed to be close up) and not finished yet I tell you ,well done.
