I am about to start on my first model(star trek) and want to make sure I understand a few things.
Wash the outside to remove flux(?) or any other gunk.
To avoid light leak I should spray the inside of the model. Either black, silver whatever. Does it matter what color?
I should prep the outside with a white wash(does color matter?) or primer to accomplish what?
Where does future come into play and do I need to use it? I understand it can remove minor scratched and make clear pieces look thinner but is it necessary to spray the whole model? And to you add more then one coat? Do you dilute it with water? Do you add it to paint?
I already have an air compressor does the type of airbrush matter?
In a non-pint related question, what does "jointing" accomplish and when does it need to be done?
Nail polish remover (acetone) should be mixed with paint to do what purpose? Just thin it? And why would I need to thin it.
Thanks for stick with me.
