I’m new in here, jumping back into the hobby after 27 years- my how things have changed! I picked up some MM Acryl, having used the original MM enamels years ago, and understand Acryl is ready for airbrushing right from the bottle. For various reasons, I wanted to apply some by brush into some tight places and found it to be way too thin to brush without 2 to 3 coats, and air bubbles form in spite of hell. Any way to “thicken” it slightly? Also, what is a good primer for this stuff? I’m rebuilding a 30-year-old 1/32 AFV with the remnants of Testors and Humbrol enamels, as well as some Polly-S acrylics. Thanks!
Welcome back! I would strongly suggest that you invest in an airbrush. A good entry level Passche H can be had for under $50. As for a double action, the Badger 155 Anthem is a good choice. Either way, it is well worth the investment.

Yeah, that’s the one I actually bought, and I like it better than the old Badger 200 I’ve had since '79. Easier to clean and, seems to me, more controllable. The MM colors work great with it.
