ReccePhreak Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I want to get Hataka's Israeli Air Force acrylic paint set (Red Line HTK-AS34), and was wondering if I had to use their own acrylic paint thinner, or if another brand would work as well. Their paint sets are available in the USA, but their own thinners are usually out of stock (and VERY expensive). Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I was told that it is best to use their own thinner just to be sure. I have that same set and will be using it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelholic Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 According to the above link Red Label are water based (Duncan B's post) however, reading further I'm not so sure. http://www.internetmodeler.com/scalemodels/nrtools/Using-Hataka-Acrylic-Paints.php This piece mentions thinning with 'windshield washer fluid' The blue, concentrate type was what I used to thin Tamiya paints with before I 'found' isopropyl alcohol. There's also a reference to 'Ultimate Paint Thinner' maybe you could find that locally cheaper. I'm a Tamiya/Vallejo type of painter myself so if you bite the bullet please post your results/thoughts All the best and HNY Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcB Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I've had good results using Tamiya's X-20A acrylic thinner. I usually clean my airbrush with Methyl Alcohol. HTH M.B. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
