A few weeks ago I asked for some tips on using Vallejo Model Air paint. I've used most of the suggestions with Vallejo and other colors and they have really turned around my airbrushing. The best tip I got was to remove the needle guard while airbrushing. That, combined with a Q-Tip with thinner, has been the number one thing that's helped me keep a consistent supply of paint flowing. Also, I use a smaller amount of paint, using the Q Tip between cups. Also, using distilled water to cut the MA paint worked great. Thanks again to everyone for sharing; you've made this FUN again.
