I did indeed Airbrushing is a complete set of skills that will come on top of the other modelling skills you're only just learning, so in my opinion it's probably better to stay away from it for the moment.

I have used more than half of the H304 bottle now and I'm worried that I need to buy more.

For a model that large, you're probably not wrong …

I don't want to buy one paint jar by itself... Shipping costs less per jar if there is more than one jar right? Now I see spots that I missed too.

 

[Jakko]

Oh, right, you're in the same situation I'm in: no shops anywhere within reasonable travel distance? Almost certainly, shipping cost is charged by weight, but in steps, so ordering a couple of bottles of paint will cost the same for shipping as when you order just one. What I would do is ask myself what else I need from wherever you order your paint — more paint colours that you don't have yet, new knife blades, a set of crew figures etc.? Not that I would recommend buying things you don't actually need, though. Rather, it's smarter to figure out what you do need so you can buy it all in one go and save on postage.

Can you show me some good white? I already have two black but no white.

EDIT:: I have an F-15 that needs a flat white and a LOT of it. (I have the whole bottom wings and fuselage and missiles to paint white) Maybe there is some white that doesn't need primer?

EDIT:: I need enough white paint to cover the whole bottom of the F-15 5 or six times

 

[Jakko]

For white paint for large areas, buy a spraying can — it's never going to work out well if you're going to brush-paint it. White primer from a store that sells car paints will probably work quite well, though I'd advise you to test it on some spare parts or empty sections of sprue from the F-15 kit first.

Both halves together dry fitted together.

THIS IS HUGE!

A set of paintbrushes came in the mail yesterday. I remember looking at them online but my memory is worse than before and I don't remember buying them. They're the same color as my other paintbrushes that are for all types of paint so I hope they work.

EDIT:: They're 'Golden Maple' paintbrushes

 

[STARMAKER.REBEL]

I;m scared to try the paintbrushes. Are they for all paints or what? on tha back it says "Golden Maple Det...r.Oil.Models, 40k

One says "5/0 Golden Maple" if that helps 'click the thumbnail' This picture was taken with my good old Canon EOS 800D

Okay I finally found my purchase on Amazon. ( I still don't remember the purchase though.) It doesn't say in the description wether or not they will work with lacquer or not though. I THINK they are okay for lacquer because they are nylon... Am I correct?

Sometimes God does things like making me buy these brushes. I would NEVER have bought these because it doesn't say Whether or not they are any good with Lacquer. I DEFINITELY wouldn't have paid $21.00 But they might be what I actually need to close the gap between Walmart paintbrushes and tiny brushes.
