Okay, so I just started airbrushing after watching lots of videos and reading a lot of articles and books on airbrushing. I am using a Paasche type H until I get a bit more skilled.
Last night I tried my first base coat, and overall I am very happy with the results. I am working on this kit:

(Don't have any pics of my handiwork yet - I didn't have time to take any)
The parts had been primered with Tamiya's Surface Primer. I used XF61 (Dark Green) as per the instructions for the base coat on the body parts and the center of the wheels, as well as the parts of the tools that are supposed to be held by brackets to the body.
I went through almost a whole 10mL bottle of XF61 on what I painted (about 80-85%), and I will probably use up the rest tonight when I finish up the touch ups and areas I missed. Is this a normal amount of paint to use on a kit this small, or did I use too much paint?
