Thanks for the quick replies. I just got two sets in the mail I'm dyin to try. I'm not diggin my results from tamiya paint lately. I think the shop I go to has had these on the shelf for far too long and everything I do is either real splotched or gummy. I've used the vallejo for brush painting and its awesome. But now its time to shoot it.

I find Tamiya is far far better formulated for airbrushing that Vallejo Model Colour. Have not tried the Model Air yet though.

Can't remember where I got it but I use 2 Parts distilled water 1 part liquitex and a drop or two of future. Spray good and the future keeps it from drying out.

Yes and no...

You can, but I don't recommend it...

They can also be thinned with tiger blood but I wouldn't recommend that either...
