Thank you for the info at the moment i am using a brush , but i do have a small airbrush which i was thinking of using on the larger bits hull , deck etc plus i am not that confident with it yet but will try practice on old model i have from years ago , as for the Revell paints i have shook them , stired them and still seems to come out more like a wash ,one colour i used i had to put 6 coats on the part before it looked anywhere near decent , so i will try those links you sent and let you know how i go once agin thank you for the help

   All the best
