Well with all things in life sometimes things happen for the first time that’s never happened before. You either figure out or get help to figure out why something happened. Even with spray bombs and brushes you’re bound to to run into a issue eventually - just the way it is. 1

I'm just saying that the Airbrush isn't worth the effort.

That sir would be highly dependent on your standards... there's absolutely nothing wrong with Spray cans or paint brushes I have thousands of spray cans myself (literally) but an airbrush is just a tool... and is a very economical tool at that... in both time money and results rendered. For example doing color fades and preshading while not impossible with spray cans, it's just extremely difficult to get a comparable result. Not to mention the cost of paint no matter what you use pretty much, works out to be cheaper through AB because of less over spray and thusly less wasted paint. I'm not saying you are wrong, just saying you make a very bold statement with debatable claims. But most importantly...build more models! ? cheers!

Solving Chemistry Problems for my Hobby Enjoyment is not a part of the pleasure. I forgot to add two words to my declaration. "For Me" It should have read: "I'm just saying that the Airbrush isn't worth the effort for me." My earlier comment makes clear that my Bold Statement, applies to just Some modelers, not all of them. But I enjoy the work of many types of model builders, so it is all good to me at the end of the day. 1
