Airbrush Paint

[NW Modeling List]

I’ve had good luck on plastic models with the Tamiya paints. I use
their “Fine Surface Primer” (rattle can) first on most everything
I paint. I recently tried some Mission Models paint on a plastic tank
car and had issues with the airbrush clogging even after thinning and
removing the air cap. Adhesion was also an issue with the Mission
Models paint even though I added the recommended polyurethane.

	I’ve also switched to the Vallejo Model Air line of acrylic paints.
While my local Hobbytown carries it, I often order from 
[1]https://www.scalehobbyist.com/index.php [2] to get their reduced
price. 

	If you haven’t already done so, Joe Fugate at Model Railroad
Hobbyist (https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/) [3] published a book
cross-referencing railroad paint colors to the new lines of paint.
Additionally it has formulas for paint thinners that work well with
these paints. It’s listed under the “Goodies” button under
“MRH Acrylic Painting Guide” and you do have to create a free
account with them to get to it. I believe that its well worth the $0
price. And check out Discussion Forums while you’re there.
