For CenturionMBT: The F-16C pic, are the decals from Scale Nutz or Siam Scale? -
he airbrush is a small, highly precise spray gun for applying paint. So basicly you add paint mix with some thinner, load it into an airbrush and you spray it on your model. It provides your model with a very even paint finish.Originally posted by gd4u:So, i go to the shop and ask for flat white, red n black paint lar? and btw, wat is airbrush, expensive or not ??
As for price, it depends. A single action airbrush will cost 45 bucks.
Pros about having a single action, is that it is cheap, allows you to spray large areas. Good for beginners.
Cons, you can't control the size of your spray area. So you have to stick to a 3 cm spray radius.
The other airbrush availiable is the double action airbrush. Cost anywhere between 120 bucks to 190 bucks.
Pros: Your spray area can be controlled, from 3 mm all the way to 2.5 cm. So you save paint.
Cons: Expensive.
In addition you need a propellent to spray the paint out of the airbrush.
Two kinds of propellant around comes in the form of aerosol cans and compressors.
Aerosol Cans:
Pros:Good for beginers who don't intend to do scale models intensively. Low start up price, cost about 23 dollars. Better than spray cans in the sense that you can change colours, so you save cost on paint.
Cons: In the long term, if you are doing models on a regular basis, you find that you will be spending on alot of aerosol cans and it will be better to buy a compressor.
Compressors:
Pros: You only need to worry about buying paint and thinner. No need to pay for those spray cans and no need for you to buy aerosol cans.So you are keeping your cost really low.
Cons: Very high start up cost, ranging between $180 for a baby compressor to a $ 500 compressor.
Well if you are interested, and if you intend to do one or 2 models at a time, i reccomend you to get a single action airbrush/ aerosol can combination. 45+23=68 bucks in total. So it is like 7 cans of spray cans.
If you are doing it on a regular basis, get the single action first plus a compressor. After that When you feel like upgrading get a double action.
Or if you have alot of money to spare, get a double action airbrush and a compressor. -
haha try a rafale and paint it entirely black...Originally posted by Unidentified:so i think i better stick with aircraft 1st , anyway , any recomendation of 1:72 nice looking aircraft i can go hunt for ? -
Wah, $45 still, very expensive, afterall, i haven't consider or plan to buy another aircraft model... So normal spray cans will do the job just fine, right ??

so nice , my wan put beside difference alot. How you manage to paint the tomcat colour ? Nice -
preshading. You spray black lines on the model; panel lines, on the panels itself. After that you spray the main body colour over the black lines to provide a faded effect.

Wah, 320 leh, it is not like i am earning my own keep currently ...
Anyway, using normal spray cans, wat if the paint overlap?? Can i use scotch tape to cover certain parts 1st ??? -
use a masking tape better , it wont pull the paint off and easier to detachOriginally posted by gd4u:Wah, 320 leh, it is not like i am earning my own keep currently ...

1/32 all of them...Originally posted by Unidentified:dun quite get it , can simplify it ? and btw is ur model 1/35 ? -
what the range price for 1/32 huhOriginally posted by CenturionMBT:1/32 all of them...
i think i goin to try that , btw , is it correct to use brush to paint the aircraft external part (i mean the wing and the top part) -
ehh think stick to 1/72 or 1/48 first.... cos if you start with 1/32 you are paying the price of a double action airbrush......Originally posted by Unidentified:what the range price for 1/32 huh

i use scotch tape lah... but tape the tape to a table surface and peel it 1 or 2 times to make it less sticky.Originally posted by gd4u:Wah, 320 leh, it is not like i am earning my own keep currently ...

Masking tape also can...up to your preference. -
I do this firstOriginally posted by Unidentified:dun quite get it , can simplify it ? and btw is ur model 1/35 ?
Den i spray medium grey, light ghost grey and dark ghost grey over the whole model. To produce the dirty effect. -
I have :
Plastic:
SU-32: Broken nose-probe, some crude camou, broken gear-doors.
A-6: Broken tail-probe, HARM missile. Suffered a fall through mishandling, causing wing-joint to snap. It took me days to redo the other wing to match the other bcos the original wings were folded.
F-14: Broken arrestor hook, stickers all gone. No paint.
F-15: Badly bent front gear, broken tail-hook, stickers all gone, broken right main gear, no paint.
Tornado F3: Broken main gear, stickers all over due to lack of experience.
F-117A: Broken nose-probe. Painted only the white gears and the interior of langing gear.
F-16: No paint, broken front gear, slanted fin, no paint.
F-18: Broken arrestor hook, painted langing gear and interior white. Broken HARM missile, since joint is missing, cannot be repaired.
MIG-23: Glue had not hardened before I placed the plane on its wheels. Result? Langing gear bent so much so that butt touches floor. Missing stickers.
MIG-29: Only plane to receive full camou, only one to be untouched so far. Nose probe was painted red, black, white to ensure folks can see.
F-104: Broken main gear, wing-tip tank.
A-4: Broken main gear, centre-line tank.
F-4: Broken main gear, stickers all over due to lack of experience.

Due to careless family members who don't seem to understand when I tell them to take care when handling these models, I've stopped purchasing since 2 yrs ago and is unlikely to carry on again. -

-

-
hmm well if you are into scale models for the first time, try Tamiya or Hasegawa. Slightly more expensive than other brands. But their fitting comfirm very good.Originally posted by c0ol_blu3z:any recommendation one wad to buy? like wad brand???? where?
The rest needs a little bit more skill i.e. filling gaps stuff like that. -
aircraft building will be terminated for me 4 e time being , cant afford to buy paint le
