In Praise of Cellulose Paint
A few months ago I was criticised for preferring to use cellulose paint when I spray; the concern being that cellulose thinners are aggressive and will damage the air-brush.
On the basis that I am of the view that “if it works for me” then I am going to carry on using it I am doing so. I am helped by knowing that I am not alone in my preference as Ian Rathbone also recommends it and also because I have not yet had any issues with my airbrush.
The reason I prefer cellulose is that it gives an amazingly smooth paint finish every time, it drys very quick and gives a very durable finish. Judge the former at least for yourself.
More on the model in a future post……..

Totally agree. and as you say, the finish is always good. I use it quit often with Humbrol paint be it Matt, Satin or Gloss and have had no problems at all.
p.s. Hows the chassis etch and bogie etch coming along ? I’m still interested in a purchase.
Cheers.

Hi Mark,
Looking good and looking forward to seeing it finished. Have attached picture of one I built a few years ago. Very arguable they were ever in HR livery.
