• To check the color accuracy

What is a key benefit of using an airbrush for large areas?

• Less paint usage

• Faster drying time

• Even coverage

• Brighter colors

What was the main challenge faced when airbrushing small models?

• Running out of paint

• Staying within the lines

• Finding the right colors

• Setting the correct air pressure

What should be done to prevent paint blobs when using an airbrush?

• Increase air pressure

• Spray air onto practice paper first

• Use a larger nozzle

• Use thicker paint

Why is it important to disassemble and clean the airbrush after use?
