At the Amherst Railroad Hobby Show, I bought a few cheap kits to practice airbrushing. This week, I washed the first kit in warm soapy water, let it dry overnight and gave it a first coat of rust color paint.

First coat of rust paint on an Athearn 34 foot 55 ton hopper.

Operating a double action airbrush took some getting used to but I think the preliminary results are pretty good. In this particular case, I will try the salt technique to achieve a chipped paint look.
