Hi Karl

I use Xtracrylix almost exclusively when airbrushing. I think they are excellent. I thin them with Liquitex Airbrush Medium and have very few problems with the needle clogging. They dry quickly and clean up with water and best of all there's no smelly fumes.

I haven't tried brush painting larger areas but for smaller details they brush paint nicely.

Karl if you go to the Reviews section and select "Hannants" there are a couple of excellent reviews by Merlin of Xtracrylix.
