Can the Tamiya TX30 rattlecan be sprayed directly ont to model (F-51d in NMF) or does it need to be decanted and AB'ed on?
Theuns
It works fine from the can. Decanting and using an air brush gives you the control that the can simply can't. You'll use far less paint and only get in where you want it rather than hitting everything surrounding the piece to be painted.
Thanx, what is the rattle can paint, I assume enamel?
Theuns, I'm pretty sure Tamiya rattle cans are acrylic laquer.
I always decant them into my airbrush bottle and thin it with laquer thinner.
I get great results this way.

Exelent, thanx :-)
It's always easy to check.....just squirt a little onto a pallette or a soda can....then see if a brush loaded with laquer thinner thins it, or curdles it. 9 will get you ten it's laquer paint.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
The Tamiya TS- line is laquer based.

If lacure based , is it also "hot" on raw plastic like the alclads?

I would suggest using the TS- paints over a primer. Have used Mr. Surfacer 1200 of Tamiya Fine White Primer in the past with no problems. Once primed, two or three light coats to start with 30 minutes time to dry in between, then a heavier coat or two.
That makes sence, thanx :-)
