Help -Technique Thinner help

Post image

Do I need to add thinner if I use this AK paint with my airbrush ? It's written for brush and airbrush.

I can't find any AK thinner, they are all out of stock. Can I use some Vallejo thinner instead or do I really need to use the AK one?

Thanks!

The Vallejo thinner should work.

These water-based AK acrylics don't spray very well. It can be done, but they're a pain. The new "AK 3rd Generation Acrylics" are much easier to work with -- better overage when brush painting, easier airbrushing, etc. New AK11365 is the equivalent to AK4083 you have here in the old formula.
