Thank you much. The Guiness sign is actually a vintage tin sign that I found years ago at a yard sale! I would love a Guiness right now if I could get to the store. Too much snow and ice on the roads!

I wonder if that poster was from this? : http://ghostgrey.gaetanmarie.com/articles/2010/Modification%20XXX/Modification%20XXX%20-%20Beer-carrying%20Spitfires.htm

First thing that came to my mind! :idea: Great poster!

A friend of mine owns an online helicopter hobby shop (Boomtown Hobbies). I have painted hundreds of these things over the last several years.

I completely disassemble and clean my airbrush after every time I paint. Probably don't have to, but I like a clean brush. With my Iwata, I have only replaced one needle (it got bent) and one nozzle in 10 years. Probably depends on what airbrush you use, but my Iwata has been very reliable.

I do the same, after every use I make sure it gets cleaned inside and out every time.

I just built this crawler to sell. Finished the paint on it yesterday. Similar to a couple others I have done, but I really like this paint scheme.
