Every time I see such a clean job with craft paint, makes me jump on that trend, but the dilution always makes my regret my decision. I struggled at first with getting the paint/thinner ratio right, but with experience it became pretty easy. I spray using a Paasch VLS airbrush with the size 3 (.73mm) tip at 30 psi. I've played around with different tip sizes and psi settings and this is the combination that works for me. Set it and forget it. For thinning I use Vallejo Airbrush Thinner...a bottle lasts me a very long time and I've never had a problem with it. For me the big advantage to using the craft paints is the huge variety of colors available...I can always find exactly what I'm looking for.

espo Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 The bright Yellow shows off the body lines and the finish looks nice and smooth. I think "Hard to Handle" has the right idea as to the engine mounting issue.
