Question: When to airbrush? When to brush?

[Darren "DJ" Finlayson]

Hi Guys,

I am curious as to what parts you normally airbrush or paint with a paint brush?

There have been a couple models which I have used the airbrush extensively. Like a 50's Plymouth that I did my first blue candy & lace paint job on. A long time ago, I used to only use a rattle can on the body, while the rest of the model was done in a paint brush.

Now that I am venturing into the big scale models and that I have lost a space to do a lot of airbrushing; I am curious as to what pieces, pasts and assemblies do you normally use your airbrush on.

Cheers!

Well Darren I use my air brush for as much as I possibly can on my big scale stuff.. The biggest reason is I hate brush marks ... Plus with parts being larger it helps speed up the paint process and it allows ME to control application pressure and amount of paint to keep things uniform and flowing appearance wise with the larger air brushed parts.. I do use brushes but mainly for the finer detailing ...
