    Vallejo paint changes colour during airbrush session?????

    Hi, I haven't posted on here for a long time but I hope someone can help. I was spraying my aggressor squadron F-16 in its light grey/blue grey camo. After finishing the blue grey coat and removing the masking and noticed a few areas where the paint was not right. I picked up the airbrush...

    Fw 190A-8 with B&V 246 Hagelkorrn

    This is "something a bit different" I've recently done. The kit was a Revell Fw 10A-8 but it had a B&V 246 "Hagelkorn" (Hailstone) gliding bomb with it, so I did it. I'd never seen this bomb system before and liked the look of it. It was a nice kit to build, and although getting...

    Korean War opponents, Mig 15 and F-86.

    I've been away from the forum for a while due to health problems, but between times I've managed to get some modelling in. I've always fancied doing a Korean war duo, but was put off building them due to the the shiny NMF. I gave it a go though, and here is the results. the kits are a Hobbyboss...

    Revell Arado 240

    I finished this just before Christmas, but this is the first time I've had time to post it. This was the first time I tried using Blu-tac masking and it didn't come out as nicely as I would have liked, but it's not bad. Here's a piccie in B/W just for the fun of it. Thanks for...

    Best glue to stick acytate sheet to plastic?

    I have a Dragon Maz543 TEL and Scud B which I got from a boot sale. The windows for the Maz look like they're made from acytate sheet, but have been badly cut out and I want to replace them. I am going to get some new acytate sheet from my local art shop but have no idea how to glue them in...

    Mossiepilots Giant Radioactive Spider diorama

    It is 1954 and America is testing the effects of radioactivity on any thing and every thing, including small animals. During one test a radioactive leak occurs and a tarantula spider is exposed to a huge amount of radiation, but instead of dying it starts to grow, and grow , and GROW...

    Air brushing problem with Pledge wax (Klear)

    I've given my F-104 an air brushed coat of Pledge multi-surface wax, new formula Klear. and left it to dry, it was left for a week because work and finishing up another kit got in the way. I've just picked it up and noticed pale white lines on the fuselage and in the join between the tail and...

    Kitech MiG 31 foxhound

    This is my Kitech MiG 31 Foxhound I got from the car bootie. It's the first one I've done that's been painted with an air brush. It's been a learning experience, but hasn't come out too badly, I think. It was a poor fit all round but with plenty of filler and a bit of patience it...

    What's the difference, if any ?

    I went to Boyes today, which stands in for my LMS, to get some acrylic thinners and air brush cleaner. I picked up some Vallejo thinners and behind it was another bottle labelled air brush thinners. Confused I looked at the destructions and they both said the same. The one labelled thinners is...

    funny youtube video

    I found this video while looking for something else - always the best way I think - and was going to post it on the "interesting Youtube finds" thread, but I can't find it. If I missed the proper place can a mod move it please. some American airmen have fun with their new f-86's. Tony.

    Another question guys.

    When I have air brushed my model, I have moved the brush in a backwards and forwards motion, going from the front of the plane to the rear, following the advice about not keeping the brush still. When I look at the newly painted kit I have noticed lighter bands of colour, especially on the...

    My Man cave

    I'm sure there was a thread on here a while ago about where we build/hide out. Couldn't find it so I started a new one. Here's some piccies of my new man cave/ model making room, When we moved to our new three bed house I bagged the spare bedroom and am slowly creating a fully fledged building...

    Help please

    I've been practicing my airbrushing on a cheapie kit before going on to do my Starfighter, and the air brush is doing something strange. When the cup is empty, and I have the trigger depressed but not pulled back, so theoretically no paint should be able to come out, I get blobs of thin paint...

    Exhaust colours

    Just a daft question, why is the exhaust staining on a Lancaster pale gray/white when the stains on Spitfires and Hurricanes dark brown/black. I was looking at some images of a model Lanc, I've got one in the stash and will be doing it soon, probably, and thinking that the modeller had been a...

    Paint changes colour?

    I got a cheap kit to practice airbrushing on, all seemed pretty much OK, except for a little over spray, not enough masking tape, but I thought no problem I'll just use a brush to fix it. I left the paint to dry/cure a few days and got the same paint back out, thinned it a little, and hand...

    Cleaning kits before painting?

    Hi guys, a bit of info please. I remember seeing a post where some one said they wiped their kit with "wet wipes" before painting. Is there any sort I shouldn't use, or would cheapo pound shop multi-surface wipes be OK. The kit I'm building has got loads of squadron filler so I don't want to...

    Tony's (Mossiepilot) Tiger Meet F-104 G starfighter

    This arrived on Monday and I'm really looking forward to starting it. The kit is done in yellow? plastic, I suppose it's for those who don't want to paint it, and the moulding is very thin which is a little worrying. The sprue shots and the detailing is nicely fine, but the thing that has...
