Dave, I still might have a long-ago booklet put out by Floquil talking
about their military uses. I think it had camflogue uses. the only
problem I would be concerned about was the smell lasting for weeks!
And for Jim, that same booklet shows how early airbrushes were powered
by just blowing into some kind of basic pipe and jar. I personally
imagine that not working for me very well, but it must have worked--just
don't inhale!
An airbrush doesn't have to be expensive unless you're really doing
really fine weathering. The compressor and related equipment is another
thing in the cost department--hence the human wind of past times!
I've owned several of those little continuous compressors, but they crap
out fairly easily. I finally bought a smallish tank model that has
lasted about 20 years now. It's small enough to do airbrushing, and big
enough to do tires and nail guns. Jack Troxell used to have his stolen
on a regular basis, so he finally bought one that was very heavy--solved
that problem.

There is an old story of how Floquil was initially developed for the
military in a situation where the paint could be easily removable
within 72 hours if necessary, but if the removal was not needed, the
paint would then "cure" a permanent status. DJE
