finally my paints arrived and tonight I set up ready for painting my 1/72 P-38.
I'm using Humbrol paints and hand-brushing my models for now.
But anyway, I painted some small components I'd prepared with no problem; they turned out great.
However, when I went on to paint the fuselage the paint seemed transparent. I used a cocktail stick and gave it a good mix making sure to stir up the thick paint at the bottom, but still it left a transparent coat. When I tried thicker paint it began covering the detail, so I'll need to sand down that part.
I've remember now, how as a kid, this part could be frustrating!
I'm guessing it has to be built up in thin coats?
Any advice gratefully received.
