Hi Dave I use the revell aqua thinner that has something in it that makes the paint stay wet for longer, just add a few drops to get a milky consistency and it goes on as smooth as butter.Scott

No problems with that bit Scott, but how do you transfer the paint from the blue pot to your A/B? It's beautiful the first time you use that particular paint but ...

When you stir the paint to mix it, some always ends up near the top of the pot and dries on the sides (See pic).

Next time you stir the paint to use it, you get bits of this dried paint falling off into your paint. It's these bits that clog the A/B.

Hi dave give the paint a good shake then stir when you open it, i dont mix it in the pot i spoon a little out into another clean jar with a small plastic spoon, then add some of the thinner.... just a few drops usually does the trick, then pour into the air brush and spray.

I am so sorry Scott for missing this one. It is a wonderful piece of work, excellent quality and painting with superb rusting and weathering. I must admit that I rather like this very much.
