It has been to many days since I posted.  I had to figure out a few things with my ipad and how to upload images.

I have been building and spraying; the kits that I have been working on are:

AMT 49 Ford:  I wish i had another one of these kits, I checked on a page and found one.  I might have to order it.

Revell 06 Shelby GT:  The kit is very nice and clean, I am new to this hobby so maybe Im wrong but everything sure went together nicely and I didn't have to do to much cleaning.

Johnny Lighting 2005 Ford GT 40:  This is a snap kit but the body sure looks nice and I did some detailing.

I have been working on my body finish.  Donn Yost has some mad skills and I have leaned much from his videos.

AS for paint, i have been doing some experimenting.  Tonight I sprayed 3 spoons with Acrylic MM Dark Green Pearl.  I shot at 32, 25 and 20.  I mixed the paint the same way I mix enamel and then sprayed similar to how I spray the enamels too.  I waited 10 min between coats, I have to say that Im amazed at the finish.  The only really difference I can see is the dust decreases with the psi.  See the pics below.  I am using a paasche H airbrush and the medium tip with three threads showing from the bottom.
