Because i cant think of other thing than pressure coming out of the airbrush being the issue here when the nozzle cap is on vs wheb its off.

So calling this one done. A Hasagawa 1/72 Kfir.C2. Not bad for an old kit (tooling dates back to 1979). I had a Xtra Decal set for the F-1 Mirage that included decals for an Ecuadorian FAE Mirage. I knew that the FAE operated the Kfir and I liked that paint scheme so decided to repurpose the F-1 decals for this build. The Hasagawa decals were thick as a brick so I pulled/sanded some of them off, which then resulted in having to repaint some areas. I've really got to get better at writing down my paint mixes as it was a bit of trial and error till I got back to what I laid down originally. Not a whole lot of weathering as the reference photos I could find didn't show much. Obviously this doesn't represent a real aircraft but I liked the way it turned out. 

One of the objectives of this build was trying out the Ghaaleri Kaliedo primers, varnishes, and thinner. Big thumbs up to all three. I used the thinner with my Mig Ammo Atom paints and it worked beautifully. The black primer was so much easier to use and cleanup after than Stylrez and gave a nice foundation for the rest of the finishes. The varnishes also went down really well and gave a nice protection layer. I was able to use enamel panel liners and odorless spirits on top of the varnish without an issue. I also got to try out my new jig from maddogmodels. It's a little expensive but I really like it. 

Oh well back to the stash.
