Ok, now that i have your attention. I recently purschaced the mig thinner for washs and a bunch of mig pigments. THey look and at terrific, i particulary like the effect they give tracks. That aside i ran into a problem that has concerned me. I have a tamiya tank model that has turned into a problem child, so i have decided to experiment on it. SO i decided to give it a full wash of the mig thinner/mig dirt. The end result wasnt bad (like i said i love the tracks) but after i gave it a few days to dry picked it up. Parts have become exceedingly brittle. I have seen this effect one other time, when i tried to strip a model with the easy off product. The parts are weakened right at the bond area.
So has anyone else noticed this problem? I for one will try a different thinner to achieve results. I am more than pleased with the mig products, but the problem with the thinner concerns me.
FYI the model is the tamiya stug 3, assembled with plastruct plastic weld cement, painted with two different coats of tamiya paint and two coats of krylon akrilic clear coat flat.

I have heard that Mig's Thinner might be a bit on the harsh side, but I've yet to give it a try myself. I use Humbrol Enamel Thinner and Turpenoid to apply/affix Mig's Pigments and have been very pleased with the results!
