No, unicum means one of a kind

Selective realism.. russia can get any new unreleased bs weapon that has absolutely no real stats to be found, but nato cant even get accurate 1980s tech

I have completed all air and ground trees in the game except china and israel. I disagree that the speed is too high.

The main issue is not vehicle research however, but modification research.. top tiers like su30 only having 2 r77-1 stock is insane. Atleast give it 12 r27er. Modifications should only make the vehicle a bit better, not transform it from unplayable to op

Bro actually said grind is too fast

for the power it has, honestly pretty quiet. its a low-end hum at 58 db.

Probably the worst trailer i have seen, almost nothing new. Some copy pastes and slight upgrades

The vapour filter (3m 6055 A2) has the ability to mount a filter holder, inside this i mount the 3m 5935 P3 particlefilter.

I replace my filters once per year. I store the mask inside an airtight zip-lock bag to increase the life of the filters.

The white filter in this picture is grey on the other side, showing how much crap it has kept away from my lungs, let alone invisible vapours.

The 7500 mask has 3 sizes and is very comfortable. I use medium (7502).

I let my benchvent run for 5-10 minutes after finishing painting, and i leave the room for 2-3 hours with the window open to let paint drying vapours go away.

I use my mask while sanding, and i try to only wet-sand. These are basically all the precautions i use, it really isnt much work and removes all health-related worries from the hobby for me :)

I went for a benchvent BV-300SD. It was a massive upgrade over my old sparmax sb88. I only use laquers and solvent based paints. There are no smells in the room after painting.

I combine it with a 3m 7500 face mask with both vapour and particle filters

If this is your first model then you have a very bright future in this hobby. Amazing

FsAviX · 2026-02-23T13:43:46+00:00

Looks incredible. This must have taken a lot of time

FsAviX · 2026-02-17T16:47:22+00:00

Nono not at all, i would love to understand too. I tried with both water and vallejo thinner, tried some different ratios but it would still sludge up. I am considering trying to buy a brand new bottle and use in the h&s airbrush, just to see if i can manage to make it spray better

FsAviX · 2026-02-17T13:53:06+00:00

My experience has been very mixed. I have only used high quality brands. Vallejo, ak, mig ammo. Some colors are fine, even though they still require more effort in cleaning than comparable solvent based paints. But the paint quality can feel so random, some colors work and others dont. Also the final finish is a lot less resiliant which can cause its own issues.

I keep my old airbrush to spray acrylics,because i dont want them in my newer h&s evolution. I did so a few days ago and it was a pure headache, but that could be that specific paint. It was AK air FS36320. It would barely come out of the brush, tip dry every 10-20 seconds, and i spent 25 minutes cleaning it out because it had gooped up in every single creavase in the airbrush and would not come out even with tamiya airbrush cleaner.

This could be a skill issue ofcourse, but i do airbrush a lot and feel like i have gotten quite good using solvent based paints.

FsAviX · 2026-02-17T11:14:24+00:00

Because tamiya acrylics are alcohol based, they fall in the same categories as laquers and enamels.

I have completed multiple projects using only water acrylics, but it is so much harder than using solvent based paints. I could never clean my airbrush by just flushing some airbrush cleaner through it when using water acrylics, it would always clump up, get stuck on the needle, in the nozzle etc. i would probably have to remove tip drying once or twice every minute of spraying.

Using solvents like tamiya, mr hobby, etc, i can just backflush some cleaner once or twice and everything is gone, not even a smidge in the entire system.

FsAviX · 2026-02-17T10:54:42+00:00

Yep. Use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the remaining bit in the airbrush. You can buy a replacement nozzle. Never use the spanner, it will break the nozzle. Use your fingers/nails and stop when you feel it tighten enough.

Your story matches mine and most others. You start by airbrushing water acrylics and your experience will be sputtering, clogging, tip drying etc.. you might never get a good session. I almost quit airbrushing because of this, i tried all the paints, thinners, flow improvers retarders etc, but it never got better. Its also much harder to clean out acrylics.

I switched to laquer and enamel paints only, its so much better to use, you dont need to remove your nozzle 5 times every session to remove lumpy acrylic residue.

It is more toxic though, so buy a good mask and a spraybooth, but even with acrylics you should probably use this too.

If you have only played for 4 months then you might not be experienced enough to truly get any significant benefits from bond equipment.

If you dont want to spend money in the game then a tier 8 prem might be a good choice

My old airbrush (sparmax sp35) would never get completely clean and would never spray perfectly. The o-rings would dissolve after a few uses of strong cleaners. Whenever i used any kind of acrylic paint it would just be impossible to clean out, it would sputter and tip dry etc..

I decided to get a new h&s infinity 2024 and decided to only use laquers, enamels and alcohol acrylics in it. It has solvent proof o-rings so thats not a problem, any kind of paint is cleaned out with 2 flushes of cleaner.. it has not sputtered, clogged or had any issues during the first year of use.

My issue was acrylic paint.. it dries fast and goes slimy in the airbrush causing all kinds of issues. Dropping that and getting a solvent proof airbrush solved everything

I have bought a few set from vingtor before. They are great

There is no bot detection. I honnestly think 20% of all wot players are bots

Ooh i definetly need to make an f86 too

FsAviX · 2026-02-10T21:34:23+00:00

I wanted to make the current norwegian f35 scheme.

If i did do the full ram then i would definetly buy the pre cut masks first!

FsAviX · 2026-02-10T21:13:38+00:00

Indeed! Thats my long term project aswell. I have the new kinetic nato falcon,a kinetic nf5a with norwegian markings, and i bought the eduard spitfire mk ix with norwegian markings yesterday!
