oi stuka-- just following these posts-- just ordered &waiting for a 100LG myself (med tip) tired of messing with my very old (circa1988)badger 200 (will now be used for future only) -- i'm using a badger 180-11 compressor, which doesnt have a pressure gauge. I did install a moisture trap-- not sure if i should be looking for a 'stand-alone' pressure gaugeQuestion [?]--- seems like some really elite airbrushers here

my 1/35 FW190 A3 is primed & waiting for the brush to arrive!

Hey Dog I don't have a pressure gauge on my compressor and I've never had any trouble with any of my airbrushes!
As for salty's comment I've heard that iwata are on the same par as badger but are just twice as expensive so anyone that says there better is lying :)

a bit of getting used to the double action, but i've got my handy FSM airbrush troubleshooter issue by my side-- essentially loving the 100 LG-- hopefully I'll be singing the same tune after the camo goes on (just the Lichtblau so far)-- i know its off subject, but I'd like to confirm the order of things :
1 paint 2future/decals 3 panel lines 4 flat coat -- is this correct?
GO ALL BLACKS!

oi stuka-- currently working on a tamiya 1/48 FW 190 A3 -- looking ok so far--still trying to decide on the camo scheme-- thinking RLM 70, 74, 75 over 76 -- still in the 'break in' period using a double action AB -- thanks for the vote of confidence-- trying to apply everything I'm learning here can be a challenge! whereabouts in NZ are you located?
Regards,
Dog

Nah, just an All Blacks fan-- hooked in college, so became a Fitzy fan-- I'll be watching the NZ- Bok match on Saturday w/ a mate from christchurch-- Bokkie look quite dangerous, but confident kiwis will play stubborn defense & not allow DGs (as what sunk the ozzies) -- kickoff @ the sparrow fart here (N. California)

oi stuka -- tough match, mate ;bokkie looked a bit off sides, but the kiwis seemed to be lacking sure hands---anyway , having some issues w/ the 100 LG creating 'spiders'
on the mottling for the FW 190-- i'm using 'color of eagles' paint-- mixed results as overall coverage is impressive for base coat (RLM76) -- thinning the mottle camo (RLM70) @ 3:1 w/ vallejo thinner-- however, overall i'm very pleased w/ the brush -- i'll bet the all blacks will crush ozzie this week!

For those spiders try using less thinner as every type of paint uses a different amount of thinner!, or try changing the pressure down a bit ! [if you can].
As for the game, it was a bit disapointing about the loss it seemed like we just couldn't keep a good hold on that ball !!!?

agreed mate, i'll just have to learn to have a lighter touch on the trigger-- think we'll have better luck v ozzie this week if we can improve our tactical kicking!

i like Rokokoko to run rampant ,i believe he'll be in the first 15--we'll shore up the defence as well in classic AB style-- 33-3 to the Kiwis !
( I suppose this is the only posting where 'AB' doesn't mean 'airbrush')
Enjoy the match , mate

Yeah he's good but I'd say the first will be from some one like Umaga, or a penalty from Carter!

Is this the longest running thread ever or is there one that has run longer? And if not the longest, is it the largest non-sticky thread ever? Just wondering!

Dog - for those spiders with the Color of eagles, Stuke is probably right, if you can back down on the pressure. the Vallejo paints are a bit thin to begin with with no way to thicken them lower pressure is the better way to go, if you're already at rock bottom try not pulling the trigger back so far... less paint means less chance of it spidering...

Good luck!!

Hi Tom-- how's it going? Thanks much -- i've actually developed a technique where I start my line on a piece of cardboard, if it is satisfactory, I continue onto the aircraft-- camo actually looks good-- unfortunately I'm having a problem with my 'yellow' (every luftwaffe modelers rite of passage) -- I primed w/ MM white, and have been adding COE 'Gelb' layers& sanding down 'build up' areas.Definitely slow going.I realize practice makes perfect, but am contemplating partitioning off 'yellow' areas for enamel for future projects.
I guess that might present problems as well.
-- Oi Stuka , Good showing by our All Blacks-- I think Roko might be the next Lomu.

Dog - yeah I just got my gelb from greatmodels last week and haven't tried it out. There are a few colors I still do enamels with... and as long as the enamel is dry the color of eagles goes on just fine over it if needed...

good luck!!! I am about 90% switched over in my aircraft colors to the Vallejo paints now... and loving it!!!

hello tom-- might not be a bad idea to prime w/ enamel yellow , then follow up w/ COE 'Gelb' , to reduce the number of layers you need to get it opaque -- i found that I needed quite a few layers to cover MM acryl white primer--
Stuka, looks like this tourny will be a battle of attrition, wouldn't mind seeing the Bokkie brought down a notch-- we'll see how ozzie fares with the ref in its set-scrum tactics

hello stuka-- just now starting the future coat -- spent a bit of time correcting spray mistakes--developing my own techniques such as a 'masking-mask' ( using wider scotch tape on top of tamiya tape to handle my tendency to overspray ) -- still getting used to the 100 LG, but making progress! --i highly recommend 'color of eagles' acrylics -- looks like its all on the line for the All Blacks in Dunedin next week
