Thanks!

Trouble airbrushing. That is why i kind of avoid acrylics. Wonder if they will do this set in enamel some day

Just my 2 cents but Lifecolor acrylics are great for airbrushing. I use Lifecolor thinners,or distilled water and have even airbrushed it straight from the container. The Fletcher and MAS builds on the Dockyard forum are painted with Lifecolor and Vallejo acrylics. Hardly use enamels anymore.

P.s. Nice review Stefan!

Thanks for getting this up Jim! And thanks for looking in guys!

Steve, I wouldn't judge all Acrylic paints the same. I've been using Tamiya for years without problems. It's all a matter of thinner, thinner to paint ratio, pressure and maybe some experimenting.

Cheers!
Stefan

Just wanted to add to the review that Windex actually works quite well as thinner. I tried this twice with large areas and it worked without any problem. The only "difficulty" encoutered was bubbles spreading from the cup, but this is but a minor nuisance.

Cheers!
