Luca Cinacchio kirjailijaHi Jens, I have 3 airbrushes, but my favored one is the Iwata Eclipse.
Mostly of the time I use Vallejo Aircolor, but if i need to do a mottle i switch to Tamiya or Gunze Aqueos, because they are just a little easier to use (longer drying time on the needle).
Pressure... it depends from what i doing... for general working usually 1.2-1.4 Bar, for more precise jobs (like a mottling) 0.8-1.o Bar. Distance... i have no idea, i never measured it🙂 but of course when i do a precise job i get very close (perhaps 5-10 cm).
Thinner: if i don't need to use the hairspray technique, i use the Tamiya standard one (i think its number is XF 20, not sure) and with the Vallejo, and with the Tamiya and Gunze colors. If i need to use the hairspray technique, I use the simple tap water (alchool based thinners make the colors more resistant, and this is the opposite of what you want when using hairspray technique for chipping).
Hopefully this helps...
