OK, here is the first, but probably not the last set of questions on painting. :-[ I plan to use Tamiya acrylic paints for my Iwata airbrush. I have been using Testors enamel and MM enamel for my hand brushing. I am working on Monograms B-52 1/72 scale....the one I got about 25 years or so ago. I hear all these terms...flat coat, gloss coat. I know gloss makes it a more shiner finish and provides a better platform for setting decals. My questions is, what is the process? Spray a gloss coat, followed by the paint colors you want for the model, then another gloss coat, followed by the decals, then a flat coat? I know I can spray "Future" as my gloss coat, (not thinned at all right?) I had planned on using the Tamiya Laq Thinner for my thinning of the paint.
Sorry if this seems so noobish, but we were all new at one time to this
