Airbrushing interior parts


JamesHatch

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

When I've tried airbrushing concave parts, such as the internal parts on the rear of the Fw190D fuselage, I notice that the primer is quite rough. Unlike spraying external areas, a load of paint dust can be kicked up, depsite lowering pressure and paint flow, and this seems to make the job a little rough in those areas. Sometimes it's not always easy to access to rub down either. I had the same issue when airbrusing the wide chord wing roots of my 1/48 Spitfires too. Any ideas how to get a smooth finish when I do these internal areas?

 

Cheers.

I know exactly the problem you're talking about James (I experienced it myself on the Sea Venom). Unfortunately I don't have a ready solution for you, other than doing what you're already doing (lowering the pressure and paint flow). Maybe one other thing to try is go slightly wetter, so that the paint is heavier and takes longer to dry. This might go some way to mitigating the effect.
