dmjung Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 Built this mainly to get back into the swing of using my airbrush. Gundam kits are usually easy builds so I could spend more time working with the magic paint spitter.
Roktman Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 Looks good to me! Re: the air spitter - I see you're using Vallejo. If the a/b is clean, I would suggest thinning the paint at least 50%, and bring the psi to under 20. I'm shooting Vallejo at about 12-15 psi and never get a clog (or spitting). HTH
dmjung Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Posted September 30, 2019 Yes, mostly Vallejo air and color. Sometimes the gunze acrylics. I think I run around 15psi, maybe a tad higher. Normally I don't get spitting unless I'm trying to get the last ... little ... bit of paint. Self inflicted. :) I sprayed the parts for each assembly step separately so it was kind of a repetitive drill working with the airbrush. (Think exercises with a musical instrument.) And since most of the colors were mixes I could introduce a little variation as the build progressed.
