Hi, I have an aztek airbrush and I typically shoot Tamiya acrylics and have NO problems..

Now, I am building a Fw-190D9 and am using Model Master acrylics.
The problem is that the Model master acrylics clog the tips REALLY bad and the paint flow isn't very good. I have tried thinning with 90% alchohol and also with the Model Master thinner and get the same results.. I am shooting at 20-30 psi..

Tonight, I tried Aeromaster acrylics with distilled water and got the same results.. It's almost like the Aeromaster is the same stuff as the Model Master.

I typically build armor and Never have a problem with my paints, but whenever I build luftwaffe aircraft and use these paints I have all kinds of problems.

I understand that Model Master has now come out with a "NEW" formula.. Should I try that??? Or does anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong????

The "NEW" MM formula, is nothing new...and has been out for awhile....so likely the MM paint you have now is the new formula.

I have both a Badger 200 and an Aztek 4709, and although I have never tried the MM Acrylic with the Aztek yet....in the 200 I would get maybe 5 mins of spray time before the end clogged up due to the paint drying, pretty much if I want to paint with MM Acrylic I have to use my old 350, it works ok with it....but its only good for doing a base coat and very simple camo....ie: not good for semi fine lines....hell you would be lucky with medium lines.

With Tamiya paint...I can spray for hours, or so it seams.....even sitting the AB down for 5 mins, while I get parts ready on another kit for painting, and it still sprays great in either the 200 or the Aztek. I initially liked the MM Acrylics for their distinctive colors, but for their price and lack luster perfomance in an AB....I will stick with Tamiya.

Scott, I prefer Tamiya also.. But Tamiya DOESN'T make the RLM colors I need..
