Is it advised?

I have a Humbrol (no. 22) white enamel color that I intend to use on the nose of my Flanker. Should I paint it using a normal brush or should I airbrush it?
Cheers & thanks in advance,
WD.

By my experience, brush on white sucks!!! It'll ruin your kit. Best thing is to airbrush it. Do a type of layering, applying only very thin coats, let it dry and add another coat. Be sure to prime or wash the model first with soap and water. Otherwise, it would peel or get ruined :-)

Great, thanks Red.
Cheers,

Red is dead on recommending you layer your white when airbrushing. It is one of the few ways to get white to come out looking good. Another method I've tried is airbrushing a light gray undercoat, and then after is has dried, layer on a few coats of white. Somehow, the undercoat gives the white something to "bite" into, and it adheres better...for me, anyway.

Do you mean priming?
I have already put the primer (gray) spray.

Its just that white, like yellow, is one of those colors where you have to do many LIGHT coats. Maybe the pigments are so light that they require this,,,but I would go with the airbrush.
