Thank-you kind sir.
I can't believe I'm going to tell you this but there are days when it would have been better if you stayed in bed. I thought it was time I put some paint on so I washed the hull in warm soapy water, allowed it to dry, washed it with plastic prep, allowed it to dry then proceeded to apply a coat of primer, thinned 50/50 with thinners. I built it up slowly till I got good coverage and put it aside to dry fully feeling very pleased with myself. It was the I realized that I'd used airbrush cleaner instead of airbrush thinners. The only good thing is that it came off easily with more cleaner, a toothbrush and plenty of water. Doh!
