Good to see you back, and that build of yours well very very clean work indeed, I was tempted for this one myself but went for the Spitfire, are you painting this one or leaving it just as it is.
Regards
Trev Hi Trev . Hope you are well. Thanks for looking in and your great comments. I will be spraying it when the tender is finished. Best regards for 2015 Mark

Thats the way I learnt my weathering techniques, lots of Google and an old plastic kit. And I still use it today for new tricks!

One of the problems I keep getting is when I spray a mat varnish over the model I keep getting big white blobs when it dries and I am not sure why.. But that is no excuse really and I should get my behind in gear. Best regards. Mark

If your getting blobs its usually because of a build up in the nozzle and then it spits. Try thinning the varnish or a slightly higher pressure.

Another thing to check is that the water trap is empty as any excess water here can also be sucked up to cause the splater. Some people also add an inline water trap aswell to be doubly sure of preventing this. They screw into the top of the hose then into the airbrush. loads here on Flee-bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sc...?_nkw=inline+water+trap
Hope this is of help Regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
