sounds to me like your paint was drying right out of the air brush. it happens when all of the variables are right.....temp of the paint, air temp, vs how much thinner {in your case, reducer}.......great way to make spatter paint. are you thinning with water...or something else? I've been having that problem with my billing's paint.......but that's because the paint is old......can't wait to use it up! it's an enamel......I'm used to the nuances I sometimes get. is your air brush a gravity or siphon feed........might also be a factor. nice paint work on the hull.....the darker tinting really looks nice. about tying the aircraft down on deck?.......I think that's what all the deck circles are for. when the aircraft are brought out on deck, they are lashed in place with short lanyards.....removed before take off.

your making some great progress OC......the bot deck is coming together. keep up the good work!

nice progress Andy is there a reason for the rope and chain? did the kit supply eyelets or something for the hawse holes. I have a bunch of those darn things. you can find them in a craft store....it would make the holes look better. sorry if I sound picky, but you've done such a super job on her so far, I find it hard that you've settled on mere holes drilled through the bulwarks. I have a bunch of 'em........I can send you some if you'd like PM me with your addy
