I want to have tinted windows in an F16, and I got this ... but once you get them out of the bottle becomes like GUM ... you know something about it; I was told that is diluted with water ... but nothing ...

..

...Thanks a lot!!

I suggest an airbrush and a very light dusting of gold color on the inside, since that is the real color.

I have found this here... Violtan.com: Color charts and Info about Art-Paints

METHOD:
1. Draw in the outlines freehand or following a pattern using the outlining paste direct from the tube.

2. Now paint inside the outlines using a brush.

VIOLTAN Notes:
1. WACO Cleaner is high flammable and can be sent only by surface mail.
Use regular Thinner-21 to clean glass before painting, thin the colors for air-brush and clean air-brush and brushes after work.
2. Next layer of paint can be applied by air-brush after 15-30 minutes (touch dry time).
If you work with usual soft brush, you should wait some hours or days while previous layer is completely dry.

 

[Airframes]

Doesn't sound as if it's going to be very good for modelling. There are a number of 'transparent' colours in the Tamiya acrylics paint range, with 'Smoke' being a good one for tinting canopies. As Greg pointed out, the F-16 canopy is laminated with gold, but can look like a normal tint at many angles, so 'Smoke' would do the job, thinned and airbrushed, then, when completely dry and hardened, a coat of 'Future'.
