Hello, I am new to the forum. I have made models in the past although it was about 30 years ago so I’m very out of touch. I have recently bought a 1/72 scale spitfire as a practice bed to use as a learning curve which has raised a few questions. Apologies in advance as some will probably be daft questions.
firstly I have painted my model using mostly acrylic paint although I accidentally painted one part of the camouflage in enamel due to not reading the pot. It appeared to go On ok and didn’t cause any real issues as far as I could tell. It was slightly glossier but by the time a put three coats of gloss varnish on the paint looked pretty uniform. Firstly despite my mistake should you ever mix paint types?
Also I have an airbrush and my ultimate goal is to spray paint my models. Which is best paint to do this for best professional finish?
Your help is appreciated.
