Hayabusa

Thanks for all the kind words, I really appreciate it. @Flatearthman - Sorry, this is a curbside. However, here´s a pic of the interior.

This is the Datsun 240Z rally car that won the Safari Rally in 1971. It´s a kit from Hasegawa, built OOB

Gator Glue is really good stuff, in my opinion. I use this for photoetch and clear parts.

Thanks guys! That´s some nice looking builds. Personally, I think this Camaro is the best looking Camaro of all types. Well, I better order a kit, then... /Stefan

Thanks, Roger. /Stefan

Hi everybody, is this kit any good? I know it´s a reissue from AMT, but i doesn´t seem to be exactly the same as the one Round2 is offering. Or? Any advise is very much appreciated. /Stefan

@Kaleb - You can spray any kind of paint through an AB with a 0.35 mm set-up - as long as it´s thin enough i.e. it should have the consistency of milk. Water soluble paints like Tamiya acrylics do have a tendency to clog or you get a build-up of dry paint on the very tip of the needle. In that case, an AB with a larger set-up makes painting a bit easier. Sounds like your AB needs a thorough cleaning, maybe? Check the tip/nozzle, spray regulator and the head. And the needle.

@Kaleb - Basically, different needle sizes needs different tips/nozzles. The larger needle/tip set-up, the more paint will spray through the AB. Say, if you want to paint free-hand camo on an airplane or tank with very fine details you would probably do better with a 0.25-0.30 mm set-up. But, if you´re about to paint a car model body I would instead choose an AB with a 0.5-0.7 mm set-up. Still, you can paint some very fine lines with the larger set-up but it´s a bit easier with the smaller set-up. Like Erik Smith says - a single action AB is quite sufficient. Especially if you´re painting larger bits like a on a car model. The Paasche H or the Badger 200 NH, for instance. Like I wrote before, I like AB´s which has drop-in tips/nozzles (Iwata Eclipse, Badger, Paasche etc). The other type is the screw-in tip/nozzle which is much more fiddly to install and, sometimes, easy to damage. Doesn´t mean it´s a bad design - just different and in my opinion the drop-in tips makes life a little bit easier.

Like somebody allready said, the Neo is not manufatured by Iwata. I´m not 100% sure, but I believe it´s made by Sparmax. Not a bad thing, but in my opinion I would rather choose the Eclipse. The Eclipse is a very nice AB and I especially like the drop-in nozzle. Another option is the Patriot or 155 Anthem made by Badger. Very good AB´s and at a good price too. Spareparts are easy to get by and quite inexpensive. Also, if you´re painting model cars you very seldom need an AB that can paint hair-thin lines or extreme details. The customer service by Badger is really good too. They care for the customers. This is a good site for airbrushing in general: https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/home
