Ever wondered what's causing those mysterious bubbles in your airbrush paint cup? In this episode, Dr. Strangebrush returns to solve the airbrush mysteries that plague scale modelers everywhere. Drawing from decades of experience, he walks us through common issues with surprising solutions – from the simple fix for bubbling paint cups to the proper technique for applying dry and wet coats.

The doctor's paint crisis hotline is open as he addresses listener questions that reflect the frustrations we've all faced. Learn why your clear coat turns out pebbly (hint: it might be your tip size), how to keep paint workable during long sessions, and the proper sequence for spraying multiple colors to minimize cleanup. His practical wisdom transforms technical problems into solvable challenges with straightforward explanations that will immediately improve your results.

Beyond the masterclass, we explore the modeling sphere with updates on the de minimis exemption affecting cottage industry suppliers, share listener mail about upcoming model shows, and showcase bench projects including Dave's nearly-complete Bearcat and Mike's KV-85 tank radiators. The episode rounds out with new kit releases and an appreciation for the growing community of modelers supporting each other through knowledge sharing.

Whether you're battling airbrush demons or simply looking to refine your techniques, this episode delivers insights that will elevate your modeling experience. Subscribe now and join our community of passionate scale modelers keeping their mojo alive!
