Got yet another question, I want your oppinion on the method of painting that should be used on my Lady Be Good. I have gotten the mixture for Interior green down and am begining to paint the inside of the rear feusalage. Now on previous bombers I have built I have always airbrushed the interior due to the enourmous area of painting required, but on my fighter interiors I have for the most part hand painted them. Now here is my delema, what should I do for the Lady Be Goods interior hand paint it, or airbrush it, and also which is better?

Thanks for the input

I’d airbrush it, but then I airbrush just about everything.

Airbrushing is always better IMHO.

BlackWolf3945-Thanks for the input, as well as the picture, I dont have that one but it seems to be a modern one after her discovery, so it really isnt much use to me due to the fact It has alot of her equipment taken off. But if you could find me a picture at the break in her feusalage I would be forever thankfull, due to the fact I dont have one.

rjkplasticmod-Thanks for the input as well.

i hand paint as little as possible on a kit, so my answer would be airbrush. it gives more realistic finish in my opinion. later.

the airbrush would be the way I would proceed … but, that is just my idea … [swg]

Then airbrushing it is, Thanks everyone, it is so nice to ba able to get a second oppinion on things.

Read what you posted. Sounds like things are humming along, but still have a ways to go yet.

Keep us posted - and definetely post some pics if you get the chance.

I prefer to do things as closely as they were done on the original, and as such I pretend my airbrush if a great big paint spray gun going over large areas. If it was brush painted on the original – such as in the field – I would brush paint it with the tiniest brush I could find, to keep the strokes in scale.

Yeah that sounds like it would work, And I am glad I airbrushed it, I finished painting the rear portion of te bomber yesterday, and now I have to begin the weathering process. And it is looking real good.
