then after that apply pencil shavings. nvr tried it personally before but i've heard of ppl using this method

Pencil shavings ??

Pencil shavings ??

sorry i was not specific enough.. i mean u grind regular pencil lead into powder form and apply on your kit

 

[tuner]

nice!
is this kit hard to do? i find those china kits always a lot of seamlines, sink holes, misaligned pieces... very tedious to touch up

I bought it in HKG by chance when the shop assistance place them out for sale, this the first edition therefore includes the metal guns. Yup, that's the "price" you pay for MIC products, looks good on the outside, kills you from the inside!

Mayb some hobby shops like HAG, hobby kulture, m workshop, storm domain, miniature hobby etc.

1 hardware shop in rotor center sells airbrush also, nt many choices, 0.3 for maybe $50-$60

i would suggest upping the budget a little and get something better instead of those cheapo brandless china ones. at least get something that have spare parts available easily so u dun have to throw away the whole airbrush if anything spoil.

a good aribrush goes a long way. i have been using my hobbymate airbrush for the past 10 years... no problem at all.
