My Vallejo Colors

That's a big collection! Some people paint the caps to more easily tell them apart. I like Vallejo for paintbrush work, but after trying MRP for airbrushing, now I only airbrush Vallejo on smaller pieces (cockpit, landing gear, tank tracks).

I use Vallejo paint for everything. Gradually I bought so many that switching to another color mark would be very painful.

How do you reliably airbrush it? I get clogging, if I dilute, it starts to run from the point where I aim. Even when experimenting with pressure, I can't reliably make thin lines 🙁

I also have a problem with thin lines. I solve it by masking it

Roland - how does beer help? Or is IPA something else?

That was a good description of how paints work. It didn't include information that you learn when you try: e.g. forget Vallejo for thin lines, only use MRP if you have good ventilation or can airbrush outside.
The "this paint needs that thinner" was excellent.
