Hi All,
I've got the urge real bad here!
Got the M113 ready!
Got the Tamiya Buff readt!
Got no Tamiya White to lighten it with!
LHS got no white!
But I want to paint now!
I've got Humbrol acrylic white. Can this be mixed with Tamiya paint?
TIA
Tom

Not sure since i dont know what kind of acrylics are humbrol. I wouldnt give it a try just in case. You might be better of waiting for the paint you want to arrive( ask them to order) than risk having to strip a model. If humbrol are alcohol based acrylics then id try the mix on an old model.

I think I'll mix a little and try it on some scrap plastic.
Thanks
