Post by Digger »

Hi

Got a couple of these can they be used in a airbrush if thinned?

I've used them to paint an Airfix Tomahawk. Just used water to thin them.

They can, but be warned that the pigment is very thick as they really are designed for brush painting, so they may well clog your airbrush. Personally for the sake of a few quid/bucks I'd stick to paints designed specifically for use when spraying - Tamiya/Vallejo ModelAir/Xtracrylix etc.
