Very good paintwork there.
Amazing you even found room for three colours at that scale!
That's a really big battery!
Could be better. However, I realised an interesting thing - purely acrylic paints (AK or A.MIG) are more or less OK for painting basic colour like dunkel gelb on this model, while they are not very useful for painting small red and green spots on such a scale. In fact, Tamiya and especially AK RC are very good for tiny camo airbrush painting.
Yeah! That is my famous fake battery!
From another post- he paints with cat whiskers!
Wait, you airbrush at that scale? What size nozzle?
Yes. This was airbrushed camo - 0.2 mm nozzle, Harder and Steenbeck ULTRA at around 20 psi, and A.MIG 7100 set of paints with AK 3G thinner (something like 1 to 1).
That is surprising to me. I use the same set up but I usually lower the pressure when I'm trying to paint smaller details. I'll go as low as 8psi. I've also been airbrushing less than a year tho. At the lower psi I generally thin it about 60/40. For my main spraying I usually keep it around 12-15 psi. Why do you use higher psi?
It is hard to say. Generally, you are right - smaller details, lower pressure. And I experimented with those purely acrylics at pressures lower than 10 psi and it was no flow at all. Also the needle was clogged in 5 sec.
I read the pressure when I am pulling the trigger if that's what you mean. I spray Ak laq paints and use Mr color leveling thinner. Recently I have gotten to the point that I have enough control to spray with more accuracy but I'm still developing.
Yeah! That is dynamic pressure. And it must be measured in that way.
Maybe this was the difference. For that model I used purely acrylic A.MIG paints with acrylic AK thinner.
