  1. Good point Pete ?
  2. I hope you get it figured out Buddy. Let us know what you find out tomorrow.
  3. Guys I have an update on painting with my spray booth in my garage. I have the dual fan spray booth and it's working fine if I use my airbrush. I am still using Tamiya rattle cans for my primer and I've been spraying that outside. The last two models I build I sprayed the primer in my spray booth. Big mistake on my part. The rattle cans spray out a ton more paint vs my airbrush. I have over spray on my 1:1 49 Chevy Restomod. I can get it off the paint with a clay bar but no more using rattle cans in the spray booth. Word to the wise.
  4. Have you tried the metal cup instead of the bottle?
  5. The Paasche H is a simple single action airbrush and has now got me scratching my head James. I do remember when I first got my Paasche H I was using the bottles and the paint would stop coming out due to the small hole on top of the bottle continually clogging up. I use the metal cup now and have not had a problem.
  6. I see the 3 rings around the cone. Any chance you have a bigger needle inside that 3.0mm cone? Just checking all Avenues.
  7. That's a good looking Gasser. Nicely done.
  8. I would give a Paasche H distributor a call or give a call to the place you bought it from. Could help.
  9. James. Makesure your paint is not to thick. I found this online. Maybe it will help AIRBRUSH DOESN’T SPRAY PAINT This can be caused by many things; the most common are a blocked nozzle (due to poor cleaning), a loose needle chucking nut, improper/low air pressure and the paint being too thick Blocked Nozzle – Clean or soak the nozzle Needle not Moving with Trigger Action – Check and tighten the needle chucking/locking nut. Paint Too Thick – Thin paint with appropriate reducer to a milky consistency Pressure Too Low – Sometimes the paint can be slightly too thick and the pressure is too low to atomize. Increase pressure.
  10. Good looking Drag car. Color looks great.
  11. That 59 Impala top gives it the appearance of a chopped top and looks pretty kewl. That's a lot of realstate to paint. Looking good.
  12. Nice. Love the car but hate the two tone color on the box art.
  13. That's a good looking Dodge.
  14. All the models look Great but I gotta go with the Blue 50 pickup because blue is my favorite color. I've been wanting this kit for some time.
  15. That's a good looking 41 Willy's. That color looks pretty kewl.
  16. Pretty kewl looking Mustang. I like the color.
  17. The pumkin is looking pretty kewl and I love that 572 shoehorned in the business end. How about a shiny Gun Metal for all the chrome.
  18. Thanks Dave. Yeah, keeping all parts from kits is a good thing. ?
  19. It's an older kit James. I got it off fleabay.
  20. I'm curious about this as others are. Since youv'e got another airbrush now, take the Paasche H totally apart and let it set in lacquer thinner for a few day and see what happens. These are very simple airbrushes and it's got me stumped as well.
  21. Welcome to the forum Galotta. Very nice collection of models you have.
  22. ?
  23. Well Dave...I'd say the 45 years away from the hobby did you no harm. Great looking models.
  24. Thanks Joe. I appreciate it man.
  25. ???
