I was gifted a cheap, (really cheap) airbrush. It was indeed a big learning curve but once I found my own method of getting the mix just right. But only after listening to what others on here were doing. Then the damn thing self destructed. Now using the new H&S Ultra, made for folk like me - beginners. It's a loverly thing, I have more than halved my cleaning routine between colours.The airbrushing was a revalation! i expect to have to learn all about oressures and distances for various paints but ir is fun. I have bought a kit with some PE parts but that’s a way off yet. It looks tricky and I fully expect to superglue my fingers together at regular intervals!
Looking forward to learning a lot from the builds on here and the advice being offered.
As for PE!! Mike's tute on using PE is superb. Use the search function and have a read of others experiences. I don't have any fancy tools. I use a mix of Stanley blade, six inch steel rule, scalpel blade and time. Read and fully understand what you are attempting and then just give it your best. I was dreading it, but in the end - hey - it's just a case of bending some flimsy metal.
My next challenge will be using aftermarket Eduard cockpit detailing!! A mix of decals and PE from what I have gleaned so far!!
A good rule of thumb on here - if in doubt - ask. I have asked some pretty dumb questions, (IMHO), and I have never had grief, just good advice and pointers. Some seriously knowledgable folk on here as Mike's post shows.
