                        How to paint a Lancaster

                        Hi everyone, im thinking about buying a 1/72 Lancaster (kit not yet decided). But when it comes to painting it , I won't know where to start. I have a wide selection of brushes, a badger 250, many different enamel and acrylic paints, lots of masking tape, and I can easily buy spray cans. What is the best method I could use to paint this model with the tools that I have? Hmm

                        I don't know how much experience you have with that 250, but if it's new to you be sure to practice on some junk plastic before you touch that model.  It can produce a smooth coat, but it takes some skill to do it.  I hope you have a regulated source of air, 20 to 25 psi works for me.

                        I have a good amount of experience with the 250 and can spray a decent coat with it.
