i am a bit worried about posting my first plane although i am quite pleased about it so far.(although i think my airbrush just died it will only spray when i first pull operate it then it just sprays air till i release the button then when i press and pull back again there is an initial spray then just air.)

Outstanding !!   :-* :-* :-*

As to your airbrush, I've had the same issue. You just need to pull it apart and clean it thoughly . The trouble is a paint particle blocking the flow. I've used a small brass pipe screen to strain my paint into the cup,to avoid this.

There is some good info on the Red Arrow Gnats over on the Airfix Tribute Forum. I recommend you look there.
