Airbrushing and Tamiya X and XF Paints

[takeslousyphotos]

I've thinned Tamiya paints in the past with IPA and had no problems. I don't tend to use them much anymore but, I'd give it a go on some scrap card first Bob.

Agree with 50/50 thinning paint to MLT, and I use between 15 and 20 psi pressure with a 0.2 needle. If you have concerns regarding MLT and Tamiya, get Mr Colour paint to go with it instead.....they have a larger colour range than tamiya and finer pigmentation. in my opinion they are probably the gold standard for model paints....

I mainly use Vallejo Air but I have a couple of pots of Tamiya and want to use them up. So I may live dangerously. But as always I appreciate the tips

Live a little? :smiling3:

Yep for 81 years it is knowing when to take a risk "the good avoid the bad & the ugly".
