Thanks Andy,i'm finding the biggest problem is that the water based paints don't give an even coat of colour against the enamels as it seams too thin,when you do get an even colour you have to give it several coats of future to get a even flat finish before adding any decals,i could start spraying as i have the detailing equipment for work but i just wanted to do my hobby in the house with limited tools to see how good i can do them as a challenge,i'm restoring classic cars for my wedding business during the week and i don't want to start using too many tools for a hobby,i guess i'm just old fashioned in my thinking and i would never get the results of the larger kits anyway as i don't have the skills yet in scale replica's,i know my limitations
