      Thanks for watching! It just takes practice, and the goal is to have fun and enjoy it. One tip I might be able to give is to buy a cheap model kit and use it just for practice. I did that with a Revell F-15 before building a nicer Academy F-15E (prior to starting the channel). I used the Revell kit to practice air brushing, and the defferent layers of paint and weathering. It gave me confidence to build a nicer kit, and took the pressure off. Now I try to just get a little better with each model and figure what works for me. Also, from personal experience, it is easy to fall into a trap of comparing yourself to others. I then called the channel the Pursuit because I wanted to enjoy the process of getting better with each project. Hope that helps, Happy scale modeling!

    Hello! First of all BEAUTIFUL build. I am so impressed with your skills genuinely.I started making models a year ago and I still have so much to learn. I wondered why you spray the surfacer is such light coats. They almost look dry to me, and dry usually means grainy and not smooth surfacer?? Is it because you don't wanna affect the panel lines by overspraying them? But how do you still manage do get such a smooth finish?

    • @scalemodelpursuit
      @scalemodelpursuit 3 місяці тому

      Hey thank you for the kind message! I love that you are in the learning mode, I am too. That’s actually why I named the channel the “Pursuit” because I hope to always keep learning new things. On the primer roughness, I do try to keep paint applications thin to preserve details, but I do like to go back with 1000 grit sanding sponge and smooth it out a little before painting. Same thing after each coat of paint and clear
