Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
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

Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72
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

I'd have thought if its Airfix, then yes, usual stuff can be used, does it not say in the destructions? -

My new AB and also treated myself to another 1:12 figure a German Wehrmacht Tank Commander. -
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... -
Which airbrush would you buy?
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...
