Folks,
         I remember a long time ago, and far, far away Greg Balzer (I think) 
was trying to airbrush some Citadel paints, and had some trouble. Any advice 
on this before I start experimenting? Thin with water? Future? What? TIA!

I have used these paints on an eduard Nieuport 11. (1/48) I just used water 
to thin them, and I found them to be excellent on a matt primercoat (grey 
acrylic auto primer). I built the paint up in many thin layers using a hairdryer to 
speed up the drying time between coats. They dry pretty quick anyway. Quite 
tough for a water based acrylic too. I suppose Isopropyl alcohol would work 
well too. Hope that helps.
