I,ve been using Tamiya acrylic for my airbrush, and I have heard its the best for that application but I find it to grainy and thin for brush painting.
What do you suggest? Humbrol, Testors, enamel, acrylic????

Thanks
Rick

If you want Acrylic, Vallejo seems to be the #1 choice for brush painting.
MM Acryl sucks for brush painting in my experience. Tamiya is ok.. if you are patient and thin it.

Can't comment on anything else...

Only experience I have with humbrol is drybrushing.

I use Gunze for airbrush painting... Tamiya acrylics works fine for me too.

For paint brush painting, Vallejo / Andrea paints are best. Tamiya acrylics don't do well for brush painting.
