Hi All,
This is my first attempt at scratch building and using an airbrush!
Thanks go out to Wraith for his help and advice (as well as some excellent decals).
I started out using Humbrol paints but the end result was less than desirable, patchy colour and paint running into and pooling in fine details. Wraith suggested trying "Vallejo" paints, they are a little more expensive than the Humbrol, but the end effect is a lot more appealing.
For my first project I have chosen an Airfix E-Type Jaguar kit on the grounds, it is cheap and if I mess it up no great loss.
This body has two coats of Humbrol #1 Grey Primer, two coats of Vallejo Red RLM23 and two coats of Humbrol #35 Varnish.

As usual comments and advice always welcome
