Probably humidity mate........my paints have taken a bit longer to dry lately but i use a little bench fan and i find that works, do you mix your paint with anything ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/plain.png)

Little bit of Tamiya X20 I think it's called
This stuff is staying tacky but nothing else is

Compatability should be ok...........i just spray my ModelAir paints neat thru my 0.5 AB with no thinners etc, if i use my 0.35 i do thin down 10 paint to 2/3 thinner on the ModelAir paints.........they don`t need much thinner as they are quite thin already.

I’ve left it about a week and the frame is nice and dry now. The two halves are together and I have the engine in place I’ll get a photo tomorrow as I’m out tonight
Starting to feel happier with this build now
Got some gloss Vallejo varnish yesterday for the white paintwork. Not done white before

Black with a white finish?

If you paint white over grey primer, it'll be a nightmare to see how it covers and if you have missed any areas. That is why I spray black first, then add the white over that.

Oh hang on, I see now that you have the white in place, and wish to add a gloss coat over it.

When I've got somewhere I'll get a photo, there is loads of small bits that need to dry before I can move on so it's is making it very slow going Just had my knife roll off the bench and landed in my thigh, only a small cut but I'm on blood thinners so I left a trail of blood from the model room to the kitchen ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)
