Never apply too much glue to your model as this can cause bubbles of cement to be squeezed out from
bonded surfaces.
Always stir the paint to ensure a uniform mix throughout the container.

Application is easier when using a cocktail stick or toothpick to apply glue.
When painting camouage it is helpful to mark out the areas to be painted beforehand with a soft pencil.

When glue has been applied the pieces can be held together to ensure optimum bonding. Masking tape, rubber
bands or string can all be useful. A clothes peg is excellent for clamping wing halves and other flat items together.
When applying several coats of paint always make sure that the previous coats have thoroughly dried, or lm
wrinkling can occur.
Clear parts need to be held with suction or a clean hand and the glue applied sparingly with a cocktail stick or
toothpick. Tweezers are useful for putting these into place.
When painting a large area using a brush it is better to use a larger brush to eliminate any brush strokes.

If the spray becomes weak when using an aerosol power pack it is because the can is starting to chill.
Stop spraying and allow the can to warm up to room temperature, or use two cans so you can easily switch
between them for efficiency.
These are some useful things to bear in mind to

ensure you get the best results with Humbrol
Allow at least 6 hours between coats - 24 hours is preferable.

When using aerosols it is better to apply several light mist coats than one heavy coat.

Occasionally deposits of white matting agent can be seen when using Matt or Satin varnish. This can be easily
rectified by applying a coat of gloss varnish which will dissolve the matting agent. A coat of Matt or Satin varnish
can then be re-applied.
Keep the paint in the pot uniform at all times when spraying by constantly stirring. This will ensure a
consistent finish.
Cross reference are given to identical or similar colours, however no guarantee of accuracy can be given.

Always apply paint sparingly on important detail so as not to obscure it, or thin the paint down to apply.
Airbrushes vary in specication, so its useful to do some test spraying on spare plastic or cardboard to get the
right application before spraying your model. Humbrol Enamel needs to be thinned for airbrushing: 1-2 parts
paint to 1 part Enamel Thinners is usual. Remember, the thinner the paint the more coats you will have to apply.
After using your tinlet of paint always clean around the neck of the container before putting the lid back on.
This will give a better seal between lid and tin.
Immerse in Decalx for about 45 seconds or until softened.
Decals
Cut the decals out very carefully, keeping as near to the edge of the design as possible.
Humbrol
If there are gaps between the pieces that have been glued they can be lled with Humbrol Model Filler.
When this has dried hard it can be sanded to the contour of the model with a light grade of sandpaper.
Slide the decal off its backing sheet and into position on the model using the tip of a paint brush as this
reduces the chance of damage to the decal.

Parts are best painted before being glued together. Always scrape any paint from the surfaces to be glued
to ensure a good bond - glues effectiveness is much reduced on a painted surface.
