    Stripping Vallejo Primer

    Vallejo does have an airbrush cleaner. http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/gb/auxiliaries-model-paints.html It doesn't specify if it works on their primer though. HTH, Don

    Stripping Vallejo Primer

    So after drinking a glass of pinot noir, watching a little baseball and surfing the net, I went back and checked my parts sitting in straight Super Clean. It's coming off after a little soaking. Give it another hour and it should be clean. I'm out of Simple Green right now. I'm used to...

    Stripping Vallejo Primer

    I had an airbrush malfunction (my fault) and need to strip Vallejo grey primer off a few parts. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. So far I have tried warm soapy water, alcohol, and Castrol Super Clean. So far the primer seems to be resisting everything. I also tried fingernail...

    Best way to airbrush white?

    Hey guys, just wanted to follow up with my results. I made the switch and bought a good amount of Vallejo paints. I used the Vallejo grey primer on the wheel wells of the F9F I have on the bench. Low pressure through my H&S with the pull set so I wouldn't overdue it if I got too anxious...

    Accurate kits

    If you're interested in WWII kits ... just my humble opinion, but the Hasegawa 1/48 P-40's are really nice kits. Of course the Tamiya P-51's, but if you want to save a few bucks try the ICM P-51. I thought it was pretty good. I also like a lot of the Eduard kits. You know what, there...

    Best way to airbrush white?

    Is that in the Model Air line? I was kicking around the idea of completely switching and buying the entire model air line at one shot.

    Best way to airbrush white?

    Normally I try to rattle can some Tamiya white primer, but I'm under pressure from the war department to switch completely to acrylics. Acrylic primer?

    Best way to airbrush white?

    Can anyone share your successful technique for airbrushing white acrylics, particularly in aircraft wheel wells. Normally by the time I get a primer on it and covered in white the paint is too heavy. Thanks, Don

    Problems with the shopping cart using Google Chrome

    Another thing that doesn't work is the image verification when trying to send a personal message. Didn't work for me in either Chrome or IE9.

    Consider using a rattle can lacquer for the body. Model Master makes plenty to choose from.

    The Newb

    Hello from Arizona. Been subscribed to the SMA YouTube channel for awhile. Finally looked at the site and liked what I saw. The shirt with the slogan "The goal is completion, not perfection" really struck a chord with me. I have problems with completion, I think the term is "paralyzed by...

    I'm new here, so if this old news forgive me. I did a search but couldn't find anything on it. Anyway, I use Google Chrome and it appears to be incompatible with your shopping cart. With Chrome, hovering over any "Add To Cart" button shows a URL to the *.jpg of the item. Same with "View...
