Could this also be used to thin Model Color or Panzer Aces ?

Thanks

Just use distilled water. I think the correct ratio is 2:1, water:paint. I don't think that the Panzer Aces line is any different from Model Color.

Yes it will work , I would recommend a flow release additive ( Golden makes an acrylic flow release ) so that the paint does not puddle . But I believe this is for airbrushing .

Yes it will work with model color, you only need to be very judicious on the mixing ratio, keep it thick first and see if it comes out of the airbrush, if not add thinner drop by drop. If you succeed however the result will be very nice.

And there those who say Model air can be sprayed right out of container with no thinning . I just never had any luck with Vallejo out of an airbrush , brush paints good .
