I have used a product from Liquitex called Slo-Dri. It is good for most acrylic type paints.

Tamiya has his own retarder for acrylics.

I would suggest the Liquitex Slo-Dri. It is available at any Michael's or Hobby Lobby and is inexpensive. It makes airbrushing fun and interruption free. It works with ALL acrylic paints and is part of a comprehensive line of acrylic additives and effects that you'll be mad you didn't find 10 years ago.
