Thinners for Mr. Hobby acrylics

I'm guessing you have no access to the Gunze branded thinners?

 

If so, Tamiya Acrylic & Lacquer thinner, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA/Rubbing alcohol) and plain old lacquer thinners (think you refer to it as cellulose thinners in blighty?) work just fine.

Thanks for help.

Tried brush painting in some small parts and Tamiya thinners no good - wouldn't touch the paint tp clean brush - had to clean brush with cellulose thinners. Don't want to spray cellulose unless I have to.

Thanks - will look at local supply of Gunze.

I use them regularly and I find IPA perfect for them . 70% IPA , not 99% .  

If you want to use them for fine airbrush work like say mottling or post shading , add some diamond airbrush medium to the mix . One drop of the medium per 30 drop of paint and thinner (IPA). Diamond Airbrush medium is a miracle solution and seems to significantly reduce the probability of nozzle clog .
