For Enamel, go to your hardware store, you will get a 4 gallon enamel thinner for about 3$. work well with testor enamel, humbrol and other. don't buy testor thinner, way too expensive for nothing.

For Lacquer, you can have a 1 Gallon thinner for about the same price. work nice with Modelmaster Metallizer and others.

For Tamiya.. Well I didn't found any subtitute for "mixing the paint" but for cleaning your airbrush, you can use Windex window cleaner.. work very great (be sure to use a mask, paper or respirator) cause the smell is terrific.

As for the Nozzle, there is 3 nozzle that "fit" the A370.. look in your instruction sheet, in the order parts. they are 9.99$ + 10$ of shipping (expensive imo)

at 40$ it's not a very bad deal becose you have lot of paint (at 1$ each, it make it a bit more worth it) but I wasn't impressed with this kit. I paid 59$Cnd more than 1 year ago.

If you want a good cheap airbrush, at your hardware store (home depot in my city or Reno-depo) there is a small campbell hausfeld airbrush, which is the same as a Badger. for about 36$

I got my Badger Anthem 155-7 for 51$ on ebay brand new and I'm in love with it (aztek look like a toy when you compare it). I started to love airbrush with the badger, not aztek
Ohh, So for Tamiya Acrylic's normal thinner will work good?

Thanks for all the information,

In the future i will like to own an Iwata Custom Micron, i heard they are good. With the price it has it should damn right be good
