The last time I used a hobby airbrush (8 years ago or so) I used an aztek and I gave up with the look and the cleanup. This time I set myself up right - Paache 18"x24" spray booth with 3 flourecent lights and I covered 40% of the face with clear wrap to increase the draft.
An Iwata Eclipse BS double action airbursh and the Iwata PowerJet compressor - well I have to say the first go around on Sunday was a pleasure. I built a Tamiya panther to practice my airbrushing. I am using Acrylics - testors I think - I will be using Tamiya Acrylics once I find them at another hobby store
I actually painted the model three times - once all tan, then all brown, and finally all olive drab. As I said a practice tank. My next Panther I will build and keep in three sections.
