(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.                                                        Nick.
