30/70 paint to thinner, low psi around 12, keep your hand moving.

Glad you like the video and agree on the music. I have stopped adding music so loud in my other videos.

@@SB-hg5sq happy to help you figure it out. When you say thick, can you describe it more? Also, what did you use and what quantities did you use it in?

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 It's pretty viscous, nearly the consistency of ketchup. I made up 30ml of fluid using 20ml of improver and 10 ml of thinner, I then added around 3ml of retarder, although that quantity was difficult to measure accurately. I used it to brush paint and it was fine, I'm going to have a practice with the airbrush later today.

@ did you try it with the airbrush yet? How did it go?

​@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 I'll give it a go tomorrow. I'll let you know how I got on.

Hey, those are sanding sponges from Tamiya. If you go on eBay, search for sanding sponges. Generic brands will come up for construction,etc. They are just as good as Tamiya ones but much much cheaper. I just cut them with a scissor into smaller pieces. I got a 8 pack with 2 200 girt, 400 grit, 600 grit, 800 grit. Hope this helps.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 It sure does help thank you so much. I am also going to try your mix for the Badger primer. I thought it was great primer just by itself so I'm looking forward to seeing how it does with your mixture. Thanks again!

For the ammo and Vallejo white, I used the thinner mixture in my Vallejo video. For the Tamiya I used Mr. hobby leveling thinner.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thank you,we always appreciate your help

@ happy to help!

It holds up to masking very very well. If you go watch my 1/32 bf-109 video build, you can see I painted the kit and masked it in 15 minutes and no issues.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thank you…your formula is the only way I can get Vallejo Model Air to spray decently.

@@NorthernNevadan-x2k glad I could help!

Hi, it works with all Vallejo paint lines (except for the premium line, haven't tested those). So yes it works with Vallejo model game air. I have tested all the various combinations....I tested this recipe for years. The recipe I listed in the video is the best for airbrushing for a long time and no tip drying.

@@SB-hg5sq it should. The only time I found it doesn’t work is if the ingredients are old. Retarder for example does go bad no matter the brand.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Ok, thank you.

It depends on several factors. It hotter climates it happens faster. But I would say with Vallejo, in about 3 mins

@@jalowery1246 good luck! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@@SB-hg5sq I got them off of Amazon. They come in quantity of 12 for about 7 dollars delivered. Type in “metal painting mixing trays” into Amazon. It’s like the 4 or 5 option down.

Hey, yes the formula works on pretty much all water-based acrylics. I have tested on Ammo original acrylics (you can see the video on my channel), ak 1st Gen and 3rd Gen, mission models, humbrol acrylics, and more. Currently I’m testing it on the new Atom paint range.

Hi Djhaurt, yes it can be a bit hazy at first with lots of bubbles. But it will become clear as it rests. You should be good to go and can start painting. I use my H&S .15 and .2mm for airbrushing my models. If you check out my Skyraider, Bf-109, and F-86 video. You can see how I go about painting using smaller needle set up.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Thank you so much for clearing that up! (pun definitely intended). I did watch your F-86 video you recommended. I did the 1/48 Hasegawa F-86-F-30 a while back. I will also vouch for Flory's washes. It was a pretty good kit and who doesn't like the Sabre? I will absolutely check out your other videos and subscribe. Thanks again for you reply! Cheers

Hi so can expand further what you mean? And as far as coming off with finger nails. All paints will come off if you scratch them. Once you are finished painting it is a good idea to seal in the paint to prevent that.

Give it a go, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@@ernstl1310 hi, I haven’t tried with the new model colors others have and found the mixture works fine. But just to be clear the model air line hasn’t change only the model color and game color change. The model air packaging has been updated. My favorite primer for painting all paints (model air, ammonia, metallics, etc) is Badger Stynylrez. It’s 10x better than Vallejo. For natural Metal finish I spray Badger black of grey, sand it smooth, then apply a gloss on top, then Vallejo Metal colors.

@@DareToWonder so it’s kind of a bad idea. The ball bearing can chip the glass bottle. Just use a stirring stick or use a vortex mixer.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 oops... how do i get them out...

@ you should be able to remove the ball bearings just using tweezers

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 removing them is easy. Finding them is hard!

@@frenchie7812 glad I could help!

Richard, glad you like the video. In regards to your question...you should be fine mixing 50/50 thinner mixture to paint at 60-70% humidity and 28-32 degrees C. But you might need to add in more thinner if it goes to 38 degrees C. I live in Virginia and in spring/summer we have similar temperatures and humidity. I have never had any issues. And yes, the spoons at the end...the first spoon was incorrectly sprayed and the second spoon correctly sprayed. Unfortunately, UA-cam removed the audio has I had "copyright" music in the background. But keep in mind that was un-primed spoons. Over primer, you can go a bit heavier.

Glad you like it!

Glad you found the video useful!

Glad you like the video. For brush painting you want to go with a water-based paint like Vallejo Model Color, Ak interactive, or Ammo by mig.

I mixed the primer with my thinner mixture formula. You can see the formula in my videos on my channel.

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

@@Michu32421 if you mean total time with building from start to finish, probably like 5-6 hours (excluding all the breaks I took, paint drying etc) If you’re asking just the painting and finish process, without breaks, about 40 mins.

@@CYPRUS008044 glad you like the video and the mixture formula!

Hi, so I have a video on my channel on how to use the thinner mixture with acrylic primers. I showcase the thinner mixture with Badger primer and Vallejo primer. The thinner mixture works fantastic with acrylic primers. I recommend 70% primer to 30% thinner mixture. The mixture will help the primers airbrush better, reduce tip drying and clogging. It also leaves a smooth finish. But the best part is, if you use the thinner mixture with Vallejo primers. It solves the main problems people complain about with Vallejo primers. Vallejo primers tend to lift and gum-up when sanding. To avoid this you have literally let the primer dry for a minimum of 24-48 hours or more. If you use the thinner mixture and letting the primer dry for an hour, it will cure. You can then sand it without it gumming up, it will feather out really nice, and it won't lift up if you tape over it.

Hi, if you plan to wait up to 24-48 hours for the primers to dry, then you don't need to add Future or my thinner mixture when brush painting the primer. The reason to add in Future or my thinner mixture (which you can find on my channel), is to help the primer airbrush better and become more resilient. One of the biggest issues is that if you attempt to sand vallejo primer before it has fully cured, it will gum up on itself and lift. You can avoid that by giving it plenty of time to dry. I personally don't have that level of patience thus I use either Future or thinner mixture to help it dry and cure in 50 mins. Then I can sand it and it will not lift either.

Hey glad to hear it worked for you! People don’t believe me when I tell them using this formula you can get fine lines, no tip drying, and great atomization of paint. Also hello to a fellow Sotar user. Love the Sotar and I use it for fine detail work.

Hey, so Tamiya X-22 is a gloss varnish. If you’re going for a flat look, you would need to use Tamiya XF-86 Flat clear not X-22.

You are absolutely correct. I didn't fully point that out in the video. Even with acrylics you still need to take precautions. However, lacquers health wise are still much much more harmful.

@ it’s more about the resins and the pigments you are spraying and atomizing. You don’t want any of that hitting your lungs. The actual color or paint solvents and carriers, smelly or not, matter much less, unless of course you breathe those in on a regular basis. Wear a mask for anything resin pigment based, wear a respirator for all organic solvents.

Hey, just read your message. Yes, same techniques for Vallejo Model Color (I think that is what you are asking about). I have a video on how to use the mixture formula on Model Color on my channel. I recommend checking it out. One thing to note is to give the Model Color more time to dry before masking over. With Vallejo Model air, I can mask over in about 15-20 mins. I would give Model Color at least 1 hour. Regarding the temperature question....you want to store acrylics room temperature if possible or at the very least try not to go below 55 degrees (that has been my experience). If they get to cold, the paint becomes a chalky mess. Hope that helps!

Great info, thanks so much

@@mkmac3 glad I can help. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

@@lonotalonota5779 doh! Live and learn

Hey, congrats on your soon to be airbrush birthday gift. So first thing, do you know yet if the airbrush will come with a compressor? If so, then there is usually a PSI regulator with a dial on the compressor and turn the knob lowers or raises the PSI. But if it doesn't come with a compressor and instead a compressed can of air.....that is much harder to figure out. It doesn't have a regulator on it....it becomes a bit harder to figure out. Let me know which airbrush you get for your bday. I have over 50 airbrushes and I can help guide you on your particular airbrush.

@ I’m not sure if it’s a very good airbrush but it had good reviews. It does come with a compressor. I think 40 psi. It’s called the Gocheer Airbrush Kit. Not sure if it’s a legit one. Just one to get me by for a little.

@@ItzNick16 Nice, it is a good starting airbrush. I assume you are going to airbrushing Vallejo paints? Do you plan to airbrush Vallejo Model Air (which are formulated for airbrushing) or do you plan to airbrush Vallejo Model Color (which is formulated for brush painting and the video you commented on). I recommend watching this video to get an idea of your new airbrush. Plus there are more videos out there you check out. Also for the first time, don't start with paint, use water (if you can, add in some food coloring to the water so you can see the spray pattern more easily) to test your airbrush and play with the PSI on your compressor. ua-cam.com/video/ZxxBHN8CdoQ/v-deo.html

@ Thanks so much!

@@ItzNick16 you're welcome. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions.

@@alexfly01 hi yes, all you need to do is add in an acrylic gloss. When I want to make my paint glossy I add in a drop or two of Future or I will use Alclad Aqua gloss. I thin the paint with my formula, then add in a drop or two of gloss. Mix it together. Don’t add to much gloss or the paint will be runny. Lastly, when airbrushing gloss paint…reduce the air pressure to 12-15 psi.

@@Shooter_FPV thank you, glad you like the video. Yes model air is airbrush ready. But the thing is, paint is tested in a lab with specific conditions. Unless you have those exact conditions in your hobby room…you will always need to adjust your paint to get the best results. No matter the paint. And yes, the formula works on model color. I have a video on my channel for thinning model color with the mixture formula.

Hi, it’s not. Tamiya is an alcohol based acrylic paint. So it sticks better than water based acrylics. But I always recommend primers. They give the paint something to hold on to, they make the model uniform, and most importantly they help reveal flaws.

@arewethereyetmodeling2196 can tamiya primer be applied through brushes? i see bottle glass of tamiya primer available on market and why aclohol based acrylic paint sticks better than water based acrylic paints?

@ Tamiya primer can be applied by brush. But if you watch the figure modeling community, they brush paint primer and prefer acrylic primer for brush. I think it’s because it’s more easily brush-able than lacy primers. As far as alcohol based vs water based sticking better. It’s just the properties of the paint. Water based under biting into the plastic.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thanks a lot and i have another question for 3d printed models,is it necessary to apply a layer of primer before painting them with tamiya paints? i think 3d printed models are different from traditional plastic models ,especially on the materials they producted

@@junhaogu-ee8wh so much like resin, 3d printed parts or kits, you want to wash prior to painting and you don't have to prime. But honestly, I recommend you prime. It will reveal any flaws. Your eyes won't catch the small flaws.

Hey, glad you liked the video! Regarding the your questions: 1) So there are 3 parts to airbrushing: PSI, Paint thinning, and Temperature. Temperature isn't really major unless you in extreme areas. When it is colder, typically you don't need to thin your paint as much. For hotter temperature you will most likely need to thin more. For 10 to 15 degrees, the paint will still spray but you probably won't need to thin your paint as much. I would say try 60/40 or even 70/30 paint to thinner at 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. My other recommendation would be to let your air compressor run for 5 mins before airbrushing to get everything warmed up a bit. 2) You can use this mixture on all water-based acrylics. So if you are talking about Ak 1st or 3rd gen water-based acrylics then yes (I have tested this mixture with both). Mr. Aqueous is an acrylic paint but not a water-based acrylic. So you can't use it with that. 3) For varnishes I don't recommend using the mixture. They have some stuff in them that makes them sticky. If you are using Vallejo premium flat or gloss, thin it with vallejo thinner at 50/50 and 12-15 psi. Light coats. and this is very important.....for both of them, let them cure for AT least 24 hours. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

@@beano9343 I believe you are correct on the addictive. But I think for brush painting it’s just better to go with a “water-based” acrylic. And yes Tamiya paints are “acrylics” but not a “water-based” acrylics. Acrylic is a general term term , but acrylic can be made with solvents such as alcohol…like Tamiya.

@@drithen yes, I thin Vallejo Model air as well. For best results you will need to thin accordingly. On my channel I have a video on my thinner mixture and how I thin model air. I recommend checking it out.

@@drithen wow, thank you for the kind words. I’m glad my video was useful to you.

It is superior. It is had a mild retarder, which prevents tip drying and levels the paint for a smooth finish. But if you can’t find Mr hobby thinner, you can also use regular lacquer thinner from your hardware store. Lacquer thinner works really well. Just make sure to use proper safety measures.
