I used a $6 airbrush from Northern Tool to spray a lot of the tube on my
project. It clogged up beyond repair about halfway through the
fuselage. It was actually beneficial that it was so small, because I
couldn't have gotten a touchup gun into all that small spaces between
tubes. I ended up doing a large section with a 3" roller. That worked
really well for everything except the tight corners. If I had to do it
over again, I'd roll as much as I could and hit the corners with the
modeler's airbrush.


you tried to get by with just one???? :-) :-)

buy a dozen of them :-)
expect them to gum up and replace them.

I must throw out the 5 gummed up ones I still have in the workshop.

You live and learn. It was my first time, and I didn't know any better.
By the time I knew, it was late on a Saturday and the frame was
already sandblasted.



I hope you meant to write bead blasted.
