I want to order a couple of Italeri paints to try them out, but I don't see any thinner among their collection of paints.. Has anyone used them before? And what thinner would work with them? I have AK Interactive and Tamiya thinners, would those work with them?

Thanks in advance

Italeri (acrylic) paints are the same as Vallejo Model Color, so they will work either with its own Italeri thinner, Vallejo white thinner, Vallejo airbrush thinner (new formula), also with AMMO thinner, I have tried these all. I doubt Tamiya thinner would work, while AK thinner might do it, but I haven't tried.

Thanks a lot for the reply, Gabor.. I found out I also have a bottle of Ammo thinner, so that'll work
