| Ease of construction helped me decide on the Seversky. The fuse is build around a box. Fuse sormers attach to the box to form the shape. No notches, all stringers are surface mounted, in my case part of the sheeting. Once the fuse has taken shape the Pfalz cowl can be fitted to the front. I probably have enough wood about to conplete most of the framing. Cost effective. Trying to appease the Wuffy who still does not understand the purchase of two Pfalz Dr 1s!!! |

| With Obamas help with stem cell research funding this project could be a winner. This going to be your attempt with an airbrush??? |

| Yeah, but, you've got the compressor. |

| I am not sure if I want to learn any new technical skills. How hard is it to use an airbrush??? Opinions please! |

| Get a single action brush, for the size projects you work on. You could actually use an auto detail brush for the size projects you work on! It is not tough, just getting the right consistency of paint. Acrylics work well, as do dyes and enamels and lacquers. The last two need a spray booth. All need face masks (lungs ain't cheap). Oh, and a large four letter vocabulary helps, when things aren't quite right. The plane looks great so far. |

| Thanks, you have made up my mind. I will stick to a brush. I use Ben Moore house paint.....the sample jars! |

| I have a cheap badger single action brush and its superb. The finish is so clean.Also Tamiya acrylics are quite cheap and are easy to clean with water although they do need to be thinned with An acrylic thinner. All the planes in my hangar were airbrushed. |
