Primer accentuated your nice and detailed extra work you put into that model, my friend @airbum!
Yep, where does the time go...

@johnb, @fiveten and @gblair, it has been a while, but today I got the airbrush working again

65

I airbrushed a round of 65

Well, half a round, as the paint had suffered from some contamination (thinner with drying agent) and clogged up my freshly renovated airbrush!

Well, nothing to do other that yet another deep clean, removing paint, and respraying with a fresh jar of xtracolor 65 gloss. It worked rather well, considering all the setbacks and the time I have been away from the spraybooth.

next up – well, the 65 needs to cure, then masking for the top paint can commence

The RLM65 looks really nice, my friend @airbum! Hope all is good with your airbrush!

Thanks gents, I changed the needle and tip, and all is well. it seems like it is a well-known issue with H&S (?) that the tip can be worn. After all I did use mine a lot last year, so probably just ordinary wear.

@j-healy, I still have a supply of Xtracolor's own brand, and have not really tried any other thinners with their paint. One day I will have to find a replacement, unless I find a store inside EU that stocks them.

RLM 65 came out well, Erik (@airbum). Xtracolor is really difficult to get, so I have never tried it.

Besides the RLM63 also the thinned openings do look great, Erik @airbum

@johnb, @fiveten, @j-healy and @gblair, some more paint drying

whitetipped Dora

after a few thin layers of white all the masks came off

Still a lot of details and stuff, but it looks a bit closer to the display-cabinet by now

Now it needs to fully cure before some light wetsanding to remove paintridges, next up probably decalled?
