Thanks for the advice Simon. Airbrush and Lifecolor acrylics on the way for the project and will be making a trip to Halfords on Monday for primer. Wish me luck! I'll post a picture of the end result when done.

An interesting thread SImon as I'm just about to try painting my ST Models MX2 Foamie, it's been an unopened kit boxed in my shed for 3 years and the supplied sticker set has all cracked to pieces. May I ask what airbrush and compressor you got from Amazon? I am in the same position of having a Humbrol airbrush and spray tins as you were and have been considering getting a better airbrush but the array is bewildering. If you have a set your happy with for this kind of project it would be useful to know.

Been meaning to build one of these ever since the plan was first published. No excuses now ... count me in !
