I mean, you already have, but this thing is going to allow you to lay down some real thin coats, buddy. It's the perfect tool for weathering too. It will become second nature. GREX is a wonderful airbrush for sure.

Admin--Chief Crank Posts: 14,957 Group: Admin Member #666 Joined: April 1, 2007	That's easy, buddy. You just spray black all along the panel lines . . . very thin . . . and then you can start to apply the different coats. Have fun. And use acrylics. You will love the fact that if you make a mistake you can just wash the stuff off . . .
