I just received an order of AK products and notice the thinner was a brown color. Is this normal for this thinner to look light tea. I was wondering if it was safe to use or if there were another alternative available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vallejo AB thinner will work also. I haven't seen the AK thinner myself, but wouldn't expect it to be a brown color.

Thanks, I have three bottles of the Vallejo thinner and will try them. I did try the Tamiya thinner and the results were really good.

AK thinner should be clear, not brown. Id contact AK or your supplier for a replacement.
