[WWI] airbrush

[Stuart Malone]

I'm a big fan of 70% ethyl alcohol with Tamiya.  Ethyl doesn't have  
the flowery smell of iso.  Just a personal preference.  I too have  
heard of other solvents being used with good effect, but kinda  
overrides my reason to go to acrylics.  I'm trying to reduce spraying  
harsh chemicals in the house, even with a vented spray booth.

Polly Scale, don't know the 'best', water seems to work okay.

Testors acrylics, tried them once.  I wasn't happy with them for  
reasons that escape me now, so I threw them out.

Misterkit, haven't found a good thinner yet, water does work, need to  
try future.

Vallejo, never tried them.
