I use the PollyS airbrush thinner or a bit of water. I think that some might use windshied washer fluid, but I haven't tried that yet.
PollyScale (different formula) paints do not need to be thinnned.

Water has always worked for me. That was one of the reasons I switched from Humbrol to Polly S decades ago. My parents complained too much about the smell of chemical thinners coming from the garage
