dmjung Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roktman Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share 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).

dmjung Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
