Never realised that Xtracolors paint needed that much drying time. Would be a reason to change brands for me. I used to have the second coat of Humbrol paint on in a matter of an hour or so. That is sprayed an not brushed, might be a diffrence in drying time there also
You must be a man with lots of patience Nev.

Patric, I've found that Xtracolor paints can't be brushed on, typical gloss paints!!! The drying time is quite long, I normally leave mine for about a day before I start handling the modl again, but then I o tend to spray on a couple of coats at the same time.

Guess Ill stay with the old trusted Model Masters and Humbrol paints then. Dry in a matter of hours in stead of days.

I did/do brush paint with Xtracolour - can be done but need's a lot of coats.

Now switched almost exclusively to Xtracrylic - brilliant !!! :wub:

I don't think you'll be disapointed Lance

Absolutely stunning, Nev!   :wub:   :wub:  :wub:
What a stand-out this will be in contrast with all the dull greys out there, eh?

Great job.  Keep up the productivity at this rate and you'll need a whole new shelf soon.

Nice Mirage!  I'm always looking for a way to get blue into a camoflage scheme, but overall blue looks great.

Thanks guys.

Lee, I wondered if you'd pick up on the serial  :D   The real serial is XV408, which I changed to XV840 just to bump it along a bit.  Was all I could do as it was the only white serial numbers I could find in my stash.
