Hello all. At long last I'm ready to take my modeling up a few notches by using an airbrush. A while back I purchased an Aztek A470 airbrush kit and a good compressor from my local hobby shop. The first question I've come up with relates to the paints. I've been converting to Humbrol tins from my old, cheap Testors bottles, and am very pleased with the quality. My hobby shop provided a color chart for me to use as referrence, and it mentions the Humbrol paints are suitable for airbrush use as they are. Is this true? I always read about thinning paints for airbrush use, and certainly want to do things right. I've also learned from the many posts on the subject that what will ultimately work for me will come from experimenting. But, as always, I seek advice here, as I've gotten fantastic input and advice in the past. If thinning is recommended with the Humbrol paints, please feel free to share what works for you....brands, mix ratios, ect. As always, thanks for your input, and I look forward to getting down to serious fiddling around. There are camo patterns waiting on me. :-)
