I got shipping confirmation from a place for a shipment from UPS. On there it said sent back to sender due to HAZ materials. I recently got my HAZMAT certification at work so I know a little about it. I have gotten tons of paints spray bombs to bottle paint sent to me from many places. I do not see ...

Does anyone have the MSDS for Tamiya paint. Acrylic type. I ordered paint from a vendor on-line and now I am having issues getting them to send it to me.

I use the aves putty for everything now. Even very small gaps. I mix a very small amount and roll it out bit. then i use a knife and cut a little sliver and place it with a toothpick. Once in place I smooth it with the aves solvent and it works great.

I have used the wonderful putty but now i wonder about the paste.

What do you, my fellow followers, know and feel about the paste version?

Well fold me into the order Im happy with it

Just to let you know there are are tons of threads here with all this info if you look around. There is even an airbrush survey that is a lot of good info for selecting the right AB for you. I was a diehard A470 user till my wife got me a Iwata HP-C plus and i just fell in love with it. 1) which iwa...

I ordered from them last year and did not have any issues. I got a HP-C plus with the kit and was happy with the whole deal. Quite a list there.

I always mix my paint in a seperate cup(dixie cups) then put them into the hopper. Also i thin my paints to what all say is the consistacy of skim milk. But each type an dcolor of paint is different so you will have to play with it for each color. Also i shoot anywhere from 15 to 25 psi depending on...

Before i got deployed the wife was great and bought me a Iwata HP-C plus. She saw that i had been researching ABs for awhile and was undecisive so she got it for me. I used it for the first time today and let me tell you i love it. easy to use and clean. Im using vallejo model air and it worked grea...

I bought mine at Dixie and have to say i was happy with their service. As for AB. When i started building models awhile back i got a Aztec 370 off evilbay. It was cheap and helped me learned the basic concept of AB without all the crazy parts disassembly. But i as got better with my work it was not ...

I have used these and have to say i do like them but you have to handle the kit very carefully after painting because with some plastics the paint tends to chip easily even with primer

i sometimes use white glue as it is easy to work with smooths nice and dries clear can be painted over with all types of paint no problem

hey guys have to thanlyou all for the help put down a flat black primer and then shot my first coat of metalizer and it worked great i wish all paints covered htis well and came ready out of the bottle now im going to use parafilm of wet paper masks to darker alot of panels with a new color thx again
