CharleyGnarlyP290 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Currently I am using Tamiya paints for airbrushing and mostly Vallejo Model Color and Model Air for brush painting. I did however, recently tried a bottle of AKs Gen 3 paint and it seemed to work pretty well. I really like Tamiya paints, but for some reason I'm getting to where I can't hack spraying it because of the fumes... and that is using their acrylic thinner. So, I want to try a water based acrylic and AK 3rd Gen looks promising. Here's the question: I can't seem to find any cross referencing for certain colors. the color names are pretty vague in name, like and grey, medium grey, dark grey. Specifically, in this case I would like to know what colors I would need for modern USAF aircraft. I have and F-16 project coming up that I want to get paint for.

Jens Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 You're right, they don't seem to have any water based paints that match the F-16 colours. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom3r Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Did you try to use spray booth? It can have a really nice filter to filter out all these nasty fumes and even better if you are close to a window it can vent them using nice extention majority of those have.
