dogsbody Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 As there is a very limited supply of paints available up here, on The Backside of Beyond, these being Tamiya and Citadel, what would be a good thinner to use with Citadel Acrylics? I have Tamiya X20A, Tamiya Lacquer and Mr. Color Leveling Thinner 400. I also have Tamiya Paint Retarder. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonhoff Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Did airbrush Citadel a long time ago, thinned the metallics with water...YMMV IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I've definitely airbrushed citadel paints using water with no issues. I think I also used my default windscreen washer fluid too without problems - the only paint it hasn't worked with is Vallejo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Thanks, guys! I have very little airbrush experience and that was last year, using some Tamiya with their X20A and Gunze-Sangyo with the Leveling thinner. Both worked quite well. Now that some warmer weather has started to arrive up here, I can open the basement window and experiment with Citadel and water. Would I used windshield washer fluid to clean the airbrush or some isopropyl? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Ha! I should have done a GOOGLE search first! I found this and he's actually spraying the colour I'm going to use. Chris 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
