not familiar with the kit.. looking at pics, seems like part of the bracelet is hidden by the arm. can use blue-tack to stick that part? or stick to the inside of the bracelet?

think my compressor got problems
normally it auto stops at 4bar and starts at 3bar

these days I am spraying primer and when I let the compressor reach 4bar, no primer comes out until the air pressure drops to ~3.5bar then after a few strokes of spray the compressor kicks in again.

normally even under continuous spraying, the pressure will hover around 2bar with compressor running constantly.
nowadays the pressure drops very quickly after spraying just 1 piece. the pressure reading shows barely above 1bar!

I even resorted to lowering the pressure output for the airbrush and diluting the primer more but it still happens.
then i smell more thinner than there is primer coming out of the airbrush

On the talk on the Iwata airbrush. Between the Iwata Revolution and the Hobbymate airbrush which is better? They seem to be in the same price range.

Thanks anyway. Im not really looking for an airbrush. Just wondering the price of an airbrush after I ran out of spray paint after the first coat. Airbrush paint is much cheaper and easier to find...

My WIPs

As u can see, all is half completed. I screwed up the paint for enact, and after assembly, all the parts refused to stick together. It took me 10mins to get the enact upright... The rapheal is left on hiatus. I just ran out of paint and am hesitating to buy another can... 8.80 for a 100ml can is a ripoff. Zabanya was snapbuilt, trying to build as fast as possible. Took me 2hrs to get this far.

I have a question: when sanding nubs, i use 400, 600 and 1000 grit to sand. However, after using all three, i still have scratch marks on the parts. The colour also looks dull after sanding. Is there a way of fixing that?

thanks
