Last week I went to town wif Claudia, my wife. Actually I don’t like at all going to town, but as a “reward” I got myself some new propellant for the old airbrush. OK … I didn’t have the other 2 guns yet so I thought let’s go for it with the old one. I masked the right side of the Porsche 936-78 to give the air duct a bit of the old red colour that the LeMans Car of ’78 (Jacky Ickx , Henri Pescarolo, Jochen Mass) had. Additionally the rear wing gets some of that red as well.

So here you have it, a nice look into may spraying area. It’s located right beside one of two windows in the room (remember the fresh air!) but, since I don’t have active air circulation, I have to protect me during the brief painting sessions. I actually have 2 cardboard boxes, a small one for little parts and the large one for the bigger jobs.

In the last picture the freshly painted parts just need to be protected against dust for drying and they are ready to go. If you don’t protect those freshly painted parts, they will attract the dust like a magnet (in the larger pictures you can see what I mean …).
