Thanks Jim for the comments. 

My airbrush is a Pasche two-way dating from the early 1970's.  Simple and it still works all these years later.  In the 1980's I got a single stage Badger as a backup.  Haven't used it in a long time but recall it was simple to work with.  Biggest hassle with airbrushes is the cleaning stage after painting.  So I still prefer aerosols unless the color is not available in that format. 

Happy New Year and best modeling luck this year!  TIM 

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the information, and a Happy New Year to you as well!  I've read that Tamiya makes a primer that won't eat through plastic and allows you to spray a lacquer color over it without a chemical reaction or eating through the plastic.  Maybe I should just stick to aerosol!
