ElectroSoldier Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Ive little experience with ModelMaster acrylic paints. Do any of you guys use them? If so what thinners do you use with them for airbrushing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Been using them since late 1990s. Even though Richard didn't literally print it, I'm going to quote and affirm his probable statement that their own thinner is the best choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Indeed, their own thinner is formulated to work best with their paint and vice versa. It is the best choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spejic Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I use the Model Master thinner or the Tamiya X-20 thinner. They both work well for all acrylics I use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I've always used their own thinner, but I am looking for alternatives as I expect that thinner will eventually be discontinued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I have used basic paint thinner from Canadian Tire for 40 years. Works for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get the best results from their own thinner. Now is the time to stock up before the thinner disappears: Model Master Acryl Thinner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was the problem I came up to. Model Master has never really been a big brand here in the UK. The stocks are dwindling down now and the thinners for those paints seem to have gone a long time ago as they are not even listed anymore with the paints, so I wasnt sure if they even made their own thinners. 3 hours ago, RichardL said: I get the best results from their own thinner. Now is the time to stock up before the thinner disappears: Model Master Acryl Thinner Currently unavailable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 That was quick. It was available when I posted the link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
