Hi guys new to the modeling scene and now take it seriously enought that im going to buy an airbrush. At the moment tho i have a large collection of revell paints which have served me well so far i was just wondering tho if they’re any good for airbrushing as i havnt seen many posts about them on here.
Cheers.
is it the revell color in those little blue aluminum cans like humbrol? i can’t give you an accurate review on how it shoots but im sure it will shoot fine as long as it’s thinned properly. i shoot tamiya acrylics thinned with tamiya X-20 or Gunze thinners with no problems. i also use model master.
I have used Revell paints in my airbrush. I thinned them with Testors MM Airbrush thinner and had no problems at all.

Caution, Revell paints available in 2 ranges:
Enamels in metal tins, treat like humbrol, as above, white spirits or enamel thinner.
Acrylics in square ‘flip-tops’, treat as acrylics, thin with distilled water.
((EDIT: I’m sure craig knows this already, but pointing out to noobs that you need to use the appropriate thinner/cleaner for each type of paint. [;)]))
I like their Bundeswehr colours, very '70’s-'80’s BW [:)]
Cheers guys i have the blue aqua square pots and looks as though i should be ok
