Thinning Revell Aqua Colours

As a general rule, steer well clear of using 'third party' thinners. Some work, some don't -but it is usually not worth the risk unless you are prepared to experiment on something unimportant and/or you actually enjoy fixing globbed-out airbrushes!

Do you guys usually buy all the colours stated in the instructions?

Hi Alvinhy. I usually buy the colours, but I like Tamiya or Gunze, so if it is a Revell kit, I make my way to the numerous colour conversion charts on the Web.

Cheers,

Tom.

Tamiya acrylic thinner will thin revell paint quite happily for an airbrush. For brushing, plain water works well. Recently, I found that brushing Humbrol acrylics thinned with 1 part water and 1.5 parts Gunze Leveling Thinner can give an almost airbrush-like finish.
