Thanks again guys!
Mark, I use the Micro-Mesh sanding cloths to wetsand and finish up my paints. When done, I like to use Maguiar's cleaner wax to buff out any swirl marks. I also use a quality chamois to remove the wax, this is a method I learned from my good friend and very talented builder, Bill Geary!!
Jason, the basecoat and clear were straight out of the can, I have used an airbrush for other models here and there but if the paint is available in spray can, I will usually use it and not decant it. I do like decanting the Tamiya paints, they seem to flow better out of an airbrush but again, I will go with the easiest and quickest method depending on my level of laziness that day...
