  4. Thanks for your kind comment! I am certainly not an expert,as this in only my second model model that I have done but this is what I did and it work for me to achieve the look that I wanted. I used Testors enamel Flat rust for the base coat, I found out that by using flat enamel the brush marks or lines were greatly reduced specially if I applied the coat quite heavy. I then applied a coat of hair spray straight from the canister, after the hair spray dried I applied a coat of enamel Testors flat black for the top coat. I also used acrylic craft paint in various colors and Testors flat brown and even a little bit of rust powder to touch up here and there for the rust look. This is the first model I did, but I did not use hair spray on the body, I just use fine sand paper to sand through the green paint until the rust shown through. the only part that I sprayed with hair spay was the bomb gas tank.
  5. Thanks for all the advice and I will take it all into consideration, I am just starting so I have so much to learn and things to get.
  6. Thank you for answering my questions and great information! I will have to consider all of your info and maybe invest into getting an airbrush.
