Hi guys, I’m new to airbrushing and have been watching a lot of tutorials and some people use air dryers for paints and coats.. is it a bad or good idead I’d like to know your opinions.
There is nothing wrong with using a hair dryer for speeding the process of drying a layer of paint. There are a few things that have to be taken in consideration. Make sure the fan and its internals aren’t covered in dust or any other foreign objects as they will blow onto the model/piece.

Hi, I’ve got an easy question. I am used to waterslide decals, but I am building a ralley kit as present, with a lot of big decals and during my last visit at my humble modelshop I bought decal softener and decal fixer.

Great result!!! If you don’t mind me asking, didn’t the Modelmaking Guru post pics of your work on FaceBook? Could have sworn I commented on this build over there (very positive of course) 😉
