Hasegawa Eggplane P-47 Thunderbolt

Hello guys, I used this eggplane as a test build for the Tamiya Retarder, as I've said before I still get mixed results with my AB whenever I use Tamiya acrylics. A few colors, specially the lighter ones and the metallics tends to have a pebbly texture when sprayed..I know that you have to thin lighter colors and metallic colors more than darker colors, but still I get the pebbly texture. I think the paint particles coming out of my AB is drying in mid flight, thus when it hits the surface of the kit it produces a pebbly or sandy texture.

More pictures and blah blahs on the Tamiya Retarder experiment here:
