walkerccw Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 In the past, I was using Model Master paint for brushing and never had to thin it. I am now living in Mexico, and I can get Tamiya paint. It brushes on horrible, seems way to think. Getting modelling supplies here is difficult. I have read that you can use 91% Isopropy Alcohol. Can I mix it or something else in the actual bottle? Thanks, Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Curt, You need to get hold of a bottle, comes in same bottle style as the Tamiya extra thin cement but its called Paint Retarder. You'll stand a better chance of brushing it on using this stuff. Tamiya is horrible to brush but sprays with an airbrush beautifully, thinning it I don't think will make a difference but I've been impressed with the Tamiya own paint retarder.

walkerccw Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Dan, Can the Tamiya Paint Retarder be mixed directly in the original bottle? That would make my life so much easier! Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt You don’t need much adding but I can’t see why not Curt, I just mix up what I need in a palette, it keeps it workable for a while longer than straight paint and it transforms the way it brushes. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/87114paint_retarder/index.htm Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
