At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
^^^^ Exactly this ^^^^ ;) I have always had lots of hobbies and have always collected and acquired "stuff" to go with said hobbies, eg: sport, (footie, squash, golf, etc) then motorbikes, fishing, gaming consoles, vintage comics, airguns, plus few others, and now scale modelling! Plus, as an...- pjgtech

Which airbrush would you buy?

Back flushing when cleaning AB?
Maybe has something to do with the little white teflon type seals most AB's seem to have now at the critical points, (NB: I know there are some silicone washers/seals too in other parts). The teflon ones are pretty good, so presumably don't wear, etc as fast as older ones used to? As an airgun... -
Which airbrush would you buy?
Ah ok thanx, yes I have some of that but not tried it yet, do you know which paints is does not work with? -
Back flushing when cleaning AB?
I know that some peeps do back flush when cleaning their airbrush and some don't. EG: blocking the nozzle and applying (gentle) air pressure with AB cleaner inside, to force the cleaner back and to cause it to gently agitate/bubble up, etc. The main objection to this practice seems to be a fear... -

Must admit the first time I cleaned this AB I got bloody paint everywhere, spilt some, all over the AB itself, on the table, on my T shirt, on my hands, Lol.... Also used loads of cleaning stuff, water, iso alcohol, kitchen towel, loo roll, cotton buds, mini dental flosses, etc, etc.... I've...- pjgtech

Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
NB: The issues I had with the kit initially were that there appears to be two wing options, one with underslung bomb's and one with underslung machine guns pods. I wanted to do the MG version, but it looks like a sprue (or some parts) are missing as it only has the lower/under wing sections for...- pjgtech

The gap filling /priming was yesterday, today we are painting top coats..... on the AB.... [Gulp!] I deliberately picked a model for my first AB that was not just one plain colour, oh no, that would too easy! The scheme I am painting here, has a dark green top surface, a light blue under...- pjgtech

Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
An update.... The little Stuka is coming together, mostly now assembled and had some gaps to fill, so did those and then gave the whole thing another light mist coat of primer (AK black). Was only using the 0.3 needle on the AB for the primer, I have seen several YT vids that say you should...- pjgtech
