Started spaying the white which fully blocked my AB so I changed the Ab to my other one and fully blocked that one too. Both brushes stripped down and in the ultra sonic

Great primerage, Robbo! Nice array of air-to-air nasties, as well.

Cheers Ian.
I unblocked the AB's with a help of an overnight soak, got a lot of dirt out, back together and the white bits are now all done, grey tomorrow

Nice primerage fella , what brand of white are you spraying Robbo ?

It was Vallejo model air and a drop of Vallejo thinners
I done them again with the left over ICM off white and they look great

Yeah those two usually spray well together so i guess just a case of gunk in the workings it seems

Can't understand it mate as never had trouble before. There was very small ribbons of white paint come out with the clean, like stringy stuff

It happens mate, i`ve had plenty of issues with surplus dry paint gunking up the moving parts......when i change colour i usually put some thinner in and swirl it around with a small brush and repeat the process until no colour shows i also put my finger over the end and allow it to bubble up and aggitate any residue, i also remove the needle and wipe with a cloth and thinners.....then flush again....job done!, sounds a lot but only takes a few minutes......a lot less time than having to do soaks and stuff tho, since i been doing this process i`ve not had any issues.....touch wood. Remember.....a clean AB is a happy AB

Started colouring in, it's gone from grey plastic to grey primer to grey paint So annoying waiting for drying time

Thanks mate I'm going to toned down that darker grey as when I put the nose on it just looked too dark. Making good use of the ICM colours
