you can airbrush it as it is, i have many times especialy with the XF range. but you need to run the needle further in (more open) and have the pressure a bit higher. its ok with flat paints but not too great with gloss.

i would suggest 2 parts paint to one part tamiya thinner to get a decent consitancy

Re: Airbrush related

the easiest thing to remember ... when mixing paint for an airbrush .. you want it just a little thicker then milk ... (not by much)
