new air brush

I find the paint job always looks better with multiple coats using misty spray layers. It needs a 1:1 to 2:1 thinner to paint ratio in general depending on the paint you use. You have to experiment to find the right mix for you.

Aviod airbrushing in heavy coat.

Paint mixing could stand a whole book.  Flats are different than gloss, enamels different than acrylics.

Final coat may allow more thinner than first few coats.

You can always add another layer of a paint, but it's difficult to remove a paint. So, thin the paint and build coats.

i also noticed that now i have painted first coat that i have oil marks from my fingers will a tack cloth or maybe alchol take this off when i go to re coat? i still have to fill in edge line of wings and body.

I use Plastic Prep to clean the kit before airbrushing and wear latex gloves when airbrushing.
