I recently bought a Paasche H series airbush to seen how it\'s work out for painting my tanks. After awhile though I found that the GW paints, even when thinned down, didn\'t go through the airbush and then adhear with a constintent thickness as well as I\'d like. Does anyone have some suggestions for paints I could use in my airbsuh that are water soluble?

I have airbrushed for many years now and there are alot of different paints out there. However i use GW paints mixed down with acrylic thinner. Its not that the Vallejo airbrush paints are not any good its just that the bottle is a squeeze type and i was waisting way to much paint. you are correct that GW apints even when thinned down can still dry and be sticky at times but i still find mixing my own is the best option. It just takes some practice.

Have just started airbrushing recently. I\'m using Vallejo Model Air and am not having any difficulty using it. It seems to work well straight from the bottle, thinned with acrylic thinner or water and its obvious straight away if you have thinned it too much. Add the size of the range and the dropper bottles and its a fairly easy choice.

I\'ve been using Reaper MSP thinned a bit. I haven\'t done much beyond applying primer or a basecoat of the main color (like flesh for zombies), using the airbrush has worked pretty well.
