SkyhikerWhat does that aqueous black surfacer 1000 thin down with? Isn't aqueous a water based paint? Does it work well as a primer or does it peel off like the acrylic "primers"?

S MI haven't tried to thin it with water although it is promised to work. I could airbrush mr.surfacer 1000 without thinning with my old 0,4mm needle airbrush, but in case I want to thin it I use Mr.Hobby Color Thinner 400 (turqoise colored bottle). I think this works very well as a primer. It sticks and it can be smoothed with sand paper.

AlbertoNice work so far, watching! I also use aqueous black surfacer. I thin it 50% with Tamiya's X20A, spray it with a 0.4 mm needle at 15-17 psi. It works a treat.

SkyhikerThanks for the info on the surfacer. I'm looking for alternatives to using heavy chemicals, and hopefully this will be an answer.

S MWelcome, mates! 😄 @Skyhiker I just tried and it seems you can thin aqueous surfacer with water. I didn't paint anything with it yet.

Thomas KolbI am all eyes! Very cool indeed! I was initially quite baffled with the Swedish markings, the "what-if" went over my head.

Robert PodkońskiLooks fabulous! What will land on your bench next? A He162 perhaps? 😉

Thomas KolbThis turned out lovely. The metal effect on the pulse jet housing is amazing, care to explain how you did that?

S MThanks, mates! @podkon I have atleast 4 He 162-based ideas left currently. @Mimoid I primed it with black aqueous surfacer that I polished, then airbrushed Vallejo's acrylic metal paints, then clear varnish and lastly Tamiya's Weathering master powders.
