I think you will have to brush it.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yeah I was afraid of that.  I have the Tamiya paints for my next build.  They don’t brush very well. I have the $ for the airbrush I should have by now but  as a commission sales person I don’t think it would be wise to spend the money now.

Add one part X-20A thinner to three parts paint. It will brush a lot better.

Remeber, It will take several coats but it will work great!

What’s your feeling on Tamiya paint retarder? Will that also help coverage, flow etc.?
