                        Just a word of caution:

                        In almost all the oil brands tubes, you can read a warning specifically about airbrushing with oils. They have a component (I think is cadmium, but I'm not sure) that is safe if the oil is applied with a paintbrush (as is intended), but airborne is very dangerous. So be sure to use a high quality cartridge filter mask for organics vapors.

                        I've done it as a weathering technique only, so the stuff was thinned out pretty good (almost to 'wash' consistancy). Never tried it as a way of applying the base coats though.

                        Never tried it, but would be interested in knowing more about how you do it & why.

                        Tell us more about your experiences and results. I'm not sure whether there would be any point to airbrushin' with 'em.
