I kind of agree with both sides of this I love Tamiya as far as airbrushing with their paints though I have never attempted to airbrush their colors without thinning them I have only use the acrylics on the other hand I think Tamiya paint sucks as far as using them for brushing which leads me to my next question what other paints are there that I could use to hand brush with because it seems to me to Tamiya paint to dry really really fast when your hand painting with them which in turn leaves streaks any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
