Not sure if you've tried to spray Model Color yet Jesse but me and Terry have had success mixing it with water, 50/50

Have you used the Model Air Geo? How much does it need to be thinned for the airbrush?
Jesse, what's your opinion of the Vallejo Japanese colours? I have the IJN and IJA sets, but some of them don't look anything like what they're supposed to be in the pot.

Love em. They are a bit more finickier than other acrylics but if you give them 24hrs or better to set up before masking there is rarely any paint lift; no more than I get with Tamiya. Right now I am getting a lot of paint lift from Tamiya on my F6F-3 and may have to repaint

I love the Vallejo colours. I had to decide which brand I wanted to use when I started painting and this was it. I like the way it goes on and how quickly it dries. I haven't really tried it with my airbrush. I have one, but I am not as confident with it as I should be.

That doorstep is (I bet) the door to another, parallel, dimension....straight to a hobby shop too!

I run it without thinning to adding no more than maybe a 1/4 thinning . It's designed to not need thinning
Huuuummmmmm, I'll never say

Cheers Don. I knew it was advertised as such, wondered if it was so in reality.

Missed the last part Evan. Rarely thin, might add their flow retarder.....if I remember. What I do, as with any paint, is spray for about three seconds and send a blast of straight air through to avoid any build up on the tip.....if I remember.

Cheers Geo and Jesse, much appreciated. (And sorry, didn't see your posts before when I replied to Don's!)

The wife bought me one three years ago, so I should use it more often. I might for these bigger ones.
