Just got to this ... I'm looking at acquiring an airbrush. Does the iwata work with "regular" mini paints - eg vallejo etc? ... [Non-text portions of this...
Yes, properly thinned, regular mini paints will work just fine in an airbrush. I use Reaper's Master Series Paints in mine (HP-C Plus). I know people who use...
I don't use a huge amount of Vallejos in it, but the ones I've used have not been a problem. Keep in mind that I don't usually run a straight color through -...
... Vallejo Model Air works directly in an air brush. You need to thin Model Colour and Game Colour to get them to work. They don't thin with an alcohol...
NEVER mix alcohol and acrylics. Grunge of a nasty sort results, the kind that's a PITA to clean out of your airbrush. The only Vallejo paint you'd thin with an...

I have one of those cheap Testor airbrushes that I power with canned propellant and I have had very bad results using it with water thinned GW paints. My past...
If your paint is running, it's generally because it's too thin or because of moisture in the air (with a compressor you use a moisture filter). It should dry...

Are you guys airbrushing as you would with a regular brush? Details and everything? I've tried and I cannot fathom using my airbrush for anything other than...
I work with larger pieces than most do here. The smallest I do is right around 54 mm. My airbrush supposedly can do .2mm, but that takes more skill than I can...
