For a while that academy camel was the best game in town, where are you with the build so far?

@@lpjmodels I’ve accepted that the cockpit is wrong but the external does a far impression of the shape and look of the camel so am working through it. Currently I’m painting the cockpit interior, base coated sand colour and going to do the oils trick. Can post pics on discord if your interested?

Thanks mate, the green was supposed to be rlm 80, but mission models have 2 rlm 80's a field grey and an olive green, I needed a olive ish green so went for 6003 but it could have been a bit darker to be 100% accurate.

That's really useful, got to try it thanks Ekmad!

Indeed! It has to do with the value of colours and due to the fact pink is complimentary to a prime colour like yellow!

@@chrtsi6912 not far off, purple is the complimentary to true yellow.

They help a tonne that's for sure

Thanks PP ! 😊

Thanks Mate, very kind ! I did a workbench tour a little while back and not much has changed. I'm finding the lamp to be a good supplement to my other one, it sits to the side ( eating up a lot of space) while the other is desk mounted. I think without both of em my vids would be too dark. 😀

Thanks Jeff !

Thanks Robbo, you're welcome, I'm glad your still sticking around !

Always!!

Thankyou Alain, the 109 is a guilty pleasure of mine 😀

Thanks Micheal !

Thanks Sully ! ( that 108 was tasty man )

Thanks Allan, you're right the h&s has a needle limiter but it's rarely used on my end. I used to use them all the time but they ended up getting in the way. I think you can buy custom parts for iwatas with a needle stop for the models that don't have them ( I remember seeing them some years ago in a magazine)

Thanks Scott! like all water based acrylics there is a trade off. They have a learning curve, and can be temperamental, for acrylics I prefer them the vallejo model air because I can get them down relatively smoothly, much prefer laquers these day but I am penny pinching and used what I had 😁 Thanks for the kind words mate

@@lpjmodels Yes, acrylics can be temperamental for sure. I’m pretty much using acrylic lacquers or Tamiya mixed with MLT for spraying these days… you just can’t beat it for a flawless smooth finish.

Thanks Paul, there's many ways to get to the end result and both are valid, don't sell yourself short !

@@lpjmodels OK James 😎. Oil filters are useful for us less skilled airbrushers too!

Thanks mate ! 🙏

Not a lot, people skip over the North African ( or in this case repurposed North African) schemes

Not that I'm aware of, most acrylics have this already in the ingredients list. MM gives you the option. If you want a bit of a sheen pop in a little gloss varnish with your paint mix.

About 15, thanks mate !

@@lpjmodels oh wow! I find it easier to spray thin lines at like 30+!

Hi Mark, I get ya , I use scale model shop pretty much exclusively, although I haven't needed to buy any MM for months. I'm not sure what their stock levels are like . I'm getting a pc soon so hopefully things will get get better. Pc first, then I'm saving for a camera. I'm eager to up the quality even more and hopefully provide more professional and refined content ! Thanks for the support mate 😀

The poly is an additive that makes Mission Models stronger and gives it a slight sheen. For example when not using the poly with MM, if you agitate it with water it can start to break down. With the poly this stops thay from happening. It also works as a retarder.

I use about 15 psi and above a lot of the time, where are you based, humidity and atmosphere can affect any paint and how it lays down. This is one of the reasons the "I never had a problem " comments you get aren't very valid. Someone in the uk will have different luck than someone in India. Let's troubleshoot a little bit and see if we can get somewhere. Are you using the poly mixative? This is one thing that helps a lot if the poly hasn't gone bad. Have you tried different thinner? I have been using vms airbrush thinner with great success, it is slightly self levelling so must affect the drying time a bit. Is your nozzle clean? Sometimes leftover dried acrylic deep in the working of the AB can really speed up tip drying by blocking a minor section and causing a backup e.t.c. I thin them a little more than you're supposed to as well. I have moved more towards laquers or the "hybrids" like AK real colour for ease of spraying at the trade off for the smell as they are more durable, and definately more consistent but laquers aren't for everybody. I hope this helps at least a little !

@@lpjmodels I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I definitely use the poly, and have a shining clean AB. I strip it down and look into the nozzle with a glass and bright light to make sure it’s always clean. I haven’t tried the VMS thinner, but certainly have some and will give it a go on one of my paint mules. I have been using Mr Color, Tamiya and AK RC on everything and am pretty spoiled by the ease of use and bulletproof durability. I do still use Stynlrez as a primer sometimes. It would be nice to use up all that MMP paint I have in the basement. I bought a bunch and had such mixed results, I gave up.I do like the look of some of the colors. Thanks again!

Thanks! I used this for inspiration and reference imgur.com/gallery/L2VNH37

Ahh where the fun in that

I used to have this problem and I'm not sure what caused it. Do you degrease the surface with alcohol before spraying? I have started giving my models a wipe with 99% ipa first

Cheers mate !
