What solvent do you recomend to dilute testor's enamels? This is my first time using them and I dont have any idea. I generally use Tamiya or ModelMaster's acrylics.
Thanks

I personaly use the testors and model master thinner to thin my enamals.. I know its a bit expensive $5 or $6 for a small can. but I've found I get good consisent results.. if you only use the thinner for thinning 1 can will last forever.. I use low oder thinner to run through my airbrush to clean it becasue its a much cheaper solution at .99 cents a pint at wal-mart.

Just the same as the others... specially because their own thinner does not smell too much!!!

as the others, I use MM Testors thinner for the paints and cheap sentetic thinner for cleaning the brushes.
