Alot of plugbuilders use createx. I use it as well and it seem to get the job done.

Thanks for the quick response.

Using Createx you may want to learn about heat setting the paint. Some think you need to and some don't.

This is a thread I started that has some good discussion on the topic.

Search the forum and the web also.

The best teacher aside from someone in person are the hundreds of videos on YouTube. Pay special attention to the videos about cleaning the airbrush and quick color changing.

If you have been using rattle cans for a while, you will just be shocked at what you get from an airbrush even for just simple color patterns.

good stuff
