Cheques made payable to AVIATION BOOK CENTRE p781 Editorial and contents Q5 10/1/07 11:32 Page 1 Editorial Comment Mastering new skills It’s no doubt a strange admission to come from the editor of a modelling magazine, but, through the generosity of our US Correspondent I now have my first airbrush. He has moved onto bigger and better things, leaving his original ’brush redundant and so he passed it on to me. In fact, it’s not really my first airbrush. I had a Humbrol ‘airbrush set’ as a child, but just as I was getting the hang of it it broke – something to do with seals hardening apparently. My local shop took it for service, staff moved on unexpectedly and the whole package was lost never to be seen again. VOLUME 28 NUMBER 12 Now I’m ready to have another go. I’ve taken the airbrush and its hose and connectors out ISSN 0956-1420 of the box. I looked at them, then hurriedly put them away again. I can’t tell you what type or make of airbrush it is because the whole experience was just too scary. However, I will take it out again and get to grips with it. The airbrushing techniques described by Robin Carpenter February 2007 in this month’s issue, as well as in the past and in forthcoming issues, are likely to help a lot, www.guidelinepublications.co.uk once I’ve got over that initial fear. Now I have the tools and the instruction/inspiration, all I have to find is the space and time to experiment. A hoped for move later this year should see Published by Guideline Publications us with more space and me with a dedicated modelling/work area, so that should help things and printed by Regal Litho Ltd at: Unit 3, Enigma Building, Bilton Road, along. As for the time, I’ll just have to make it. I understand Denbigh East, Bletchley, Bucks. MK1 1HW that in the US the airbrush is seen more as a standard modelling tool, but here in the UK I suspect it’s something Tel: 01908 274433 Fax: 01908 270614 that only the more dedicated modeller aspires too.
