give waterbased paints a try.They work very well as long as you keep the airbrush clean.I have a badger and I backwash frequently when I am using it to keep the fast drying acrilycs from clogging the airbrush.By backwashing I mean holding a paper towel tightly over the nozzle so the air is forced back into the airbrush and then dunking the whole thing into a container of water.Give it a try.Cheers! John

For acrylics, water is good but I find that the more minerals in the local tap water the more problematic it becomes. I suggest either filtered - distilled water and a 50 X 50 mixture of windshield wiper fluid or straight windshield wiper fluid.

Seams Every plastic or resin part from a kit has a mold seam. Every union joint of the assembled parts has seams. These need to be cleaned down and made to look like the parts they represent. As has been said before treat every sub-assembly as an individual model.
