Hello guys,
I usually use tamiya acrylics for my airbrush but recently my local hobbyshop brought in vallejo colors.
they are not fromm the vallejo air range, the are the ordinary vallejo acrylic model color.
Couold these be used with an airbrush? and do they need to thinned down before spraying? and what to use as a thinner? water?
thanks in advance

Abdallah,
Yes, they can be used in your airbrush. Thin them with Vallejo Model Color thinner #524, and a little water. For a little more info check out this link to another thread.

I just did this myself, and though I got a nice finish, and it looks good on the model, I like the way Tamiya sprays better. I used the Vallejo because it was a color I could use out of the bottle, I would have had to mix the Tamiya. The Vallejo Model Color paint is excellent for brush painting though.

Vallejo are nice paints..
I wet my brush with thinner, usually alcohol, before I pick up the color from the bottle, this helps with the even flow of the paint....
