Can you airbrush with Vallejo paints? If so what would the consistancity ratio? :-)

The simple answer is only if they are the Vallejo Model Air Paints. This is the line of paints that Vallejo sells pre-thinned, ready to go into the airbrush.

The latest Tamiya Model Magazine has a nice article describing the differences between these two paints.

The standard paints do not airbrush all that well as far as I can tell. While they are acrylics, I believe that the retarders and other chemicals that are part of the paint, must make it difficult to get consistent results. Thinners to try include Vallejo Thinner, Windex, alcohol and plain old distilled water.

Hope this helps,

Other than Vallejo paints in an air brush, what does everyone think of this brand of paint otherwise and has anyone purchased the WWII Color kit of 16 colors?

You can airbrush just about anything if the consistency is correct. Vallejo can be thinned down with water to an airbrush-able consistency and to verify that it strain it through 10xx silk used for silk screening. It should just barely seep through. If it runs through the silk to quickly it is too thin. It should be about the consistency of light cream. The silk will also remove any lumps or impurities. I wouldn't add anything else to the paint except possibly a drop of flow enhancer. Windex is also okay but only a drop or two. Also, after adding flow enhancer or Windex DO NOT SHAKE the paint since it will create air bubbles and make it foamy.

Their was an article in one of the latest armor mags on this just can't remember which one.
