Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
After messing with the airbrush for an hour or so, I could not put it off any longer, and I had to take the plunge, so this was my first priming session with the AB. Kept the parts on the sprue for this one, did not come out too bad, although if looking very close, I have missed a few litte...- pjgtech

Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
My next victim is a nice old, (not quite sure if its proper "vintage")? but its definitely old Matchbox Ju87 Stuka in 1:72 scale. NB: This will be my first attempt at using an airbrush on one of my models [Gulp!] This kit was part of a larger auction lot, which I bought about a year ago, which...- pjgtech

Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
Lol, I know what you mean. I really do appreciate all the advice I've been given though, otherwise I would have been running around like a headless chicken, not knowing what to do! So the very steep learning curve has, thankfully, been smoothed out a bit by all you peeps. Really I was quite... -
Which airbrush would you buy?
No, I don't, but I'll get some, I assume its readily available? Just googled, Iwata seem to be the go to lube, there is a Gaahleri one too, but its double the price. I assume any AB lube should work in any airbrush? Anyone know what the lube is made from? I note it seems to be silicone free... -
Which airbrush would you buy?
Lol, very steep learning curve over the first 5-10 minutes!!! Still can't quite figure out which is the best grip for me to use? Initially I was holding the AB sort of pen like, with my index finger controlling the trigger, but then switched to my thumb controlling the trigger, not settled on... -

Service Announcement..... I am no longer an air brushing virgin..... Just saying like.... ;) -
Which airbrush would you buy?
We are now set-up, spray booth turned up today. Would you line the bottom and sides with paper towel or someting else, presumably something that can be easily replaced whenever needed? -
Which airbrush would you buy?
My wife already has one I think, although I'm not sure she actually ever uses it? What type of cleaning fluid would you use? -
Balancing/competing hobbies....
Spent a few quid on the AB gear this week! :oops: I live ok off my work pension for now, until I get my state pension to top it up in few years, so I get by, but I do have to watch what I spend each month and I try not to eat into what savings I still have. So, I have just sold one of my target... -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
I've gone for a slightly wider, double fan, spray booth too, so should have plenty of "suck", Oo-er Missus! -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
I am literally like a dog with two tails.......or a little child......on Xmas morning..... with a big pile of pressies just waiting to be opened up..... Still not tried the new AB / compressor yet, (apart from checking its all working ok) as I'm now waiting for the new spray booth to turn up! I... -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
So if the cheap filters just remove particles, could I buy something like the thin sheets of cooker hood charcoal stuff, and add that either in front or behind the cheap particle filter or would that not work, or am I simply overthinking this, Lol, probably.... -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
Have not looked at replacement fan filters yet, which are the "branded" ones, and should I avoid "cheap" ones? -

Nuther noob air brush question....
Cheers for the info......I may have acquired a proper airbrush spray booth with proper vent.....;) So....now currently re-arranging my study/hobby room, as the original plan was to use my Acme home made DIY jobbie cardboard of a spray booth in the garage, with old extractor fan and a fine gauze... -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
Yep, should have thought about the smoke test myself, as used to do flue tests with them.... good idea. Cheers -
Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
If you have a proper air brush spray painting booth, with the proper extractor fan vented, etc.... How often do you change the filter thing? I suppose it depends on how much you paint, eg: lots of painting the filter will clog up faster, less painting and the filter will last longer, etc. But...
