i just used a oil paint thinner to make a wash for my bradley. the base coat was armor sand mm acryl. it didnt harm the paint. i was kinda worried at first, but the results worked out great. next i am going to try it on my f-14.

I have no problems with oils-tups washes over acrylics, the thing I take care is to let the acrylic dry well for at least 24 hs.
