great! Just so happens I'm planning my old Revell Blue Thunder..and wanted to detail the cockpit up....

I used my 2 Paasches mainly to shoot thinned Tamiya acrylic. I used alcohol to thin it down. They worked very nicely, although they were a bit touchy if they weren't cleaned regularly. From time to time I also used lacquers. I've changed to a different brand of airbrush now, but the Paasches worked...

Thanks for the info.
I do plan on building a paint booth before really getting into it.
My son has some broken RC cars - those are to be my guinea pigs LOL

Recently upgraded to an AB (never used before).
Most of my kits I'm planning to assemble are aircraft or spaceship. What types of paints would you recommend? Enamel, Acrylic or lacquers?
Thanks for any suggestions & opinions.

I'm seriously thinking about this compressor. Would it work with Paasche's VL brush?
