  3. Hi Steve Please see above for how I normally go about using the various Vallejo products. I only have a cheap compressor giving a steady air pressure, so unfortunately I wouldn’t know the specific pressure. Also my airbrush isn’t of as good a quality as yours, but still I’m quite happy with it. I have to say though, that every time I airbrush with Vallejo (and other paint brands as well), I have to adjust the paint/thinner/flow improver ratios according to the day, as there are so many parameters that can influence the ability of the paint to spray evenly and thereby the quality of the paint job (e.g. temperature, humidity, spray distance/angel, age of paint, air pressure, airbrush, material being sprayed, etc.). Whenever I have a larger paint job (bigger items or several smaller items) using the same color, I often run a shot of Vallejo’s airbrush cleaner through the airbrush when I’m about half trough the job, as my airbrush otherwise tends to clog up. Also a small q-tip wetted in cleaner is good to have at hand to clean the nozzle externally if it tends to get clogged by wet paint. Another small tip I learned here on BM is to blow a few drops of flow improver through the airbrush before adding the paint to the cup, as this seems to somewhat “pre-lubricate” the nozzle. Wishing you plenty of happy airbrush sessions using Vallejo Cheers Johnny b
