Hi All,
Just back into the hobby after many decades away. I have recently purchased an airbrush / compressor and really like the results. I have mainly used / practiced with Tamiya acrylic paints because of the easy of clean up, lack of hazardous fumes, and availability locally. I have tried using Model Master enamel and l like the results but hate the fumes and clean up. I have not mastered the technique of handbrushing Tamiya acrylic and usually resort back to handbrushing MM. From what I have read, brushpainting Tamiya acrylic is difficult.
My question is - What types / brands of paint do you guys use to handbrush fine details either on the sprue or on a subassembly after being airbrushed with acrylic? Can I spray with acrylic paints (Tamiya, MIG, Vallajo) and then paint details in enamel (MM)? If I can do that, what type of varnish do you use to seal before weathering?
Looking forward to your responses.
Todd
