Hi,
Everyone
I seem to be having a lot of trouble with getting ripples in my paint finishing on my Tamiya 1/48
Panzer III. I am using Vallejo Model Air Middlestone which I usually spray unthinned but have tried
both with and without a few drops of their brand of thinner with the same results. It also doesn't
matterwhich A/B I have tried both my Paasche H and Iwata HP-C and tried varying the air pressure
as well.
Here is what I think might have happened:
1.) Primed the model with Vallejo Grey Acrylic Primer. Let it dry for 48 hours (actually a few weeks).
2.) Gave a few misting coats of Spray Can Tamiya Dark Yellow.
3.) Didn't like the finishing so stripped everything as much as possible.
4.) Re-primed with Mr. Surfacer 1000 Spray Can.
5.) Applied first try of Vallejo Model Air Middlestone and that is when the problems began.
So I think I might just have to much incompatibility among the above steps and the model is
now just a total loss. What are others opinions?
Thanks in advance.......
Scott
BTW, I used the same paint, Vallejo Model Air, to finish my Tamiya Sd Kfz 222 before this project
with no ill effects.
