I ...Well, I like the Vallejo Model Air quite a bit. I thin all my colors down at least a little bit even those designed to flow through airbrushes. I personally haven't had any problems with the model air but then I have only shot the primer grey, and a few other colors through it. I have shot regular Vallejo Model Color as well as craft paints through my airbrush, mixing it about 50/50 with windex and adjusting from there. I now prefer to use actual airbrush thinner as that seems to give less problems in the long run. Tweaking the paint to get it to flow through the airbrush is just part of the process. The quality of the airbrush has as much to do with it as anything else. Quality tools help smooth out the process a lot. A quality (Iwata or Harder & Steenbeck) airbrush and good compressor (do not even bother with the little cans of compressed air, that will frustrate you more than anything else) are almost more important than the paint. But, I do like the Model Air and for me it hasn't required a lot of tweaking.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-37103341722198271082012-02-06T11:34:37.485-07:002012-02-06T11:34:37.485-07:00Is there a verdict on the Vallejo Model Air?

I'm a simple guy, I'd like to put some paint in, let it flow, clean up, and let dry.J.Rat. or Annabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049935822036143386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-32534385351881073892012-01-05T06:13:09.908-07:002012-01-05T06:13:09.908-07:00Hey Kris, if you're interested, I've got s...Hey Kris, if you're interested, I've got some 26ga galvanized steel at the house, might even have enough to replace those cardboard sides. <br /><br />Lemme know.<br /><br />Ken Rehor<br />k3ndawg@gmail.comk3ndawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425801746532675017noreply@blogger.com
