Hi Aaron,
as most modellers, when I have started painting with Tamiya acrylics, I have been using Tamiya acrylic thinner. But for long time I was struggling as I was not able to achieve the right combination of how much to thin the paint, air pressure and airbrushing distance, as these determine, what finish you will have. I found out that Tamiya lacquer thinner is actually better and most of the modellers I know use it these days.
For hard edge camo I have tried both methods, recently I have been using masking, but is quite laborous and it is difficult to get the masking tape around all the details on the model. I think next time I am ging to use the other method you mentioned, which I have tried once before, and it can be used to achieve very nice effect.
Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Jose,
thanks for advice, I should give it a try. I am always bit suspicious to use things like cleaners, but I know that many modellers find them helpful. At this time I tend to stick with Tamiya paints as I feel most comfortable with them.
Anyhow I do appreciate your help very much.
Thanks for reading my blog,
Cheers from Canada,
Vlad

Hi,
greetings to Australia! I am glad you find my blog helpful. I see that you have decided to for the next level right away – zimmerit is not an easy thing to do (you wouldn’t want to see my first attempt at it), but seems you are doing great job…
You will have to adjust the paint process to the fact of having the vehicle with zimmerit, you cannot use the red primer as I did. There’s a great blog Mig Jimenez did on Tiger I with Zimmerit, if you haven’t checked it out, do so, I believe you would find it useful.
Keep on and feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers,
Vlad
