Any tips for painting white? I have a 72 B-24 that I've been putting off cause its white... I haven't had a single problem painting white with an airbrush since switching to Tamiya acrylic paints... paint with a small amount of Tamiya Thinner and three coats seem to do it... this was already white plastic so I didn't even use primer... I used a light grey primer on my white model T I built last month... worked great. |

No wings to put on a Gurney flap back then. These were awesome machines. Coffins on wheels.
