Hi Guys, I am a complete newbie on here with just a few posts to my call sign, I have just noticed this forum, so here goes. I have just started building model kits, although I did some when I was a nipper, but how Its changed. I am going to have another go & have just bought myself an Airbrushing kit & got some Model Aircraft to go at. Any help, tips, advice on Airbrushing, cleaning, painting, which paints to use, where to get them. I would be forever in your debt, If you can help us out. I will be testing my airbrushing out on a Focke Wulf & Mustang scale 1:72. I have a few Items now, Light Grey Primer, masking tape & other bits 'n' bobs, but the main requirement now Is paint, I am going for Acryllic, but havent a clue which make of Acryllic to go for, before when I painted my models up with a brush, you knew which paint to get because It was numbered, so you just went to the shop & got the paint, say number 8 Matt Black (Revell Enamel), how do you know which paint to get in Acryllics or do you just go for the paint that loooks roughly the same, this might sound a dumb question but please humour me here..
Like I have said, I am a complete novice & any help will be Invaluable to me.
Thanks in advance.
Sean.
