quote:We (LHS) recommend thinning ANY paint to the consistency of 'skim milk' for airbrushing. As a general rule-of-thumb, its worked quite well through the ages.
I was at an IPMS show in Virginia Beach a few years ago and that's exactly what the Iwata girl told me.
She insisted
on giving me a demonstration and within minutes I was doing quite well. I couldn't even hear the compressor she had hooked up, she told me what model it was but I don't recall now.At the time I was painting 1/6 tanks and halftracks with exterior latex paint I had mixed (to match some military hobby paint, a 1 ounce bottle doesn't go fra on a 1/6 Sherman) at a local hardware store, her recommendation worked well. I have since used the same ratio when painting with all the common paints we use for RRing.
