Avoid Stress in the Hobby

So brushes were used to upgrade CSXT 6126 into YN3. I was hopeful it would heavily improve the model, giving it a new, modern look. The model was already falling apart with a section of the rear pilot chipped off due to a incident from 7 years ago and one of the steps was not stable enough. I was sort of happy, and here is how it now looks.



I was not happy however hat the brush strokes kept on, as much as that is a common recurring problem. I had not the finances to buy an airbrush and did not consider spray paint.

Unfortunately, dissatisfaction drove some kind of stress. This was a frustrating stage at which the old, dilapidated model was not getting much better. I can put money in the bucket that half of the parts for it are discontinued, being the Athearn Blue Box unit it is.

But, what you want to do is feel more confident that two will do the trick. I hope to be able to cleanse the paint job off the unit and start over, hoping to have the airbrush I wish to have or a flat paintbrush for fill purposes. This is considering that the airbrush costs so much to purchase... So I want to extend the solution to frustration: If you fail, strip it and try again.
