    it just depend on which paint your comfortable with for painting....
    acrylic are easyier to wash...water ... but when dry you have to scrub abit more....

    enamel is easy as well but alittle expensive as you need their cleaning solution and just can't to wash it down the drain so you have to pour and use cleaning pot .... but the paint just melt away so you don't need to scrub

    then there lacquer (eg .automotive paint) as well but that thing deadly...need mask!!
    correct! You don't need two guns which is why I said try out what works best and use the comfortable one. Always clean after use.

    Take it slow.

    May I suggest Vallejo Model Air paints. I use these. They are wonderful. No mixing needed. just pour and spray.
    Also Mr.Hobby and Tamiya paints are great to work with.

    I was where you were last year..didnt know up from down..After reading a lot I finally figured out how to do everything properly.

    As for an Air compresser may I suggest...tcpglobal...I bought something like this, its almost idintical. The Gravity-feed Iwata brushes are one of the best.

    I have an iwata brush if you ever want one, as I am not comfortable with it. And hardly used it.

    I don't like it? Not my cup of tea? pick one. The thing is, I am not using it.

    just picked up a 1/48 scale MIG-29 fulcrum B for only $30. it's an academy kit and it's awesome!!! always loved the MIG-29 and the SU-27 to SU-34(twin seat strike craft). these aircraft have it all over the western 1's.

    Nice! I have a pair of Academy 1/48 Su-27s (single seat and tandem) and they're going to be huge built up. I'd like to see your take on the Mig.
