discussion airfix 1.24 mosquito diorama .yes a diorama :)

[Guest]

I swear by Vallejo Model Air; pre-thinned, and good colours. I also like Tamiya acrylics and Lifecolor.

 

[BarryW]

I use Vallejo all the time, Air is excellent in the airbrush. Best to use Vallejo thinners, though not essential for the Air, but 50:50 mix for the Model Colour if in ab.

Stephen WOW i relooked at your first post you spent how much on the paints? NICE haul mate :respect1:

 

[Guest]

thanks for the comments . Aaron small foutune.lol cheers Steven

 

[Dave W]

Im a recent convert to Vallejo Air after years of using enamels and i think they are brilliant.Ive also got a gravity feed airbrush which combined with the Vallejo eye drop type bottles makes airbrushing so much easier.I now spray almost every part where as before i only did the camouflage.It was such a hassle mixing enamel out of those tinlets with thinners into a small jar,then spraying with the old Badger Anthem.Then there was the cleaning up of airbrush and jars afterwards.Ive just bought an Iwata Revolution and Iwata compressor which im looking forward to trying out.You've spent a lot of money on paints there Steven,but you wont regret it.Money well spent in my opinion.I look forward to seeing the Mosquito come together.

 

[stona]

I waver between enamels and acrylics myself. I'm in an enamel phase at the moment but can certainly second the positive comments about Vallejo paints. I've found them very sympathetic and easy to use.

Cheers

Steve

[Guest]

I love the 'tache on the pilot figure... Proper old RAF stuff.

 

[aaron]

Yep WOW is right, What a beast. Fun. Yeah the "mo" is a classy touch.

 

[Guest]

This looks like keeping my attention for a long time unless I drown in my own drool! It looks great and full marks on the workstation. The box picture of the pilots seated in the cockpit reminded me of a driving test for some reason. 'When I tap the windscreen with my clipboard Mr Picard, do an emergency stop!' Look forward to seeing it, Stephen.
