The two coloured greens are RLM 81 and RLM 83, they look extremely close and are hard to tell apart.🤔

Thanks Roland, I've ordered all 3 versions of RLM81 from my online hobby store, should be here by next Monday and I'll re-spray.🙂

The Ak Interactive paint turned up today and what a nightmare it is to use this paint. Pouring some of the new RLM81 version 1 into my airbrush and then adding a few drops of AK Interactives Thinners into the mix, it just coughed and splattered and then clogged my airbrush. NOT HAPPY JAN, I had thick clumps of paint in my airbrush and nothing was getting in out. One Pasche Talon Airbrush now resides in my bin until it's full and I empty it. I've now come to the conclusion I'm never trusting any paint company except for Gunze and Tamiya, which I have been using for years. Searching through my Gunze colours I found that H78 is a perfect match for version 1 of RLM81 after all, now off to order myself another gun.🙁🙁🙁

Been there but no thinner I have will clear the clumps in the body of the gun, do you know what thinners is used for AK's paint. I smelt it and it smelt really bad not acrylic paint at all.

That is where my problem lies, I just used the AK water based acrylic not the Real colours version. Thank You Hans I will get out my lacquer based solvent now and see if this cleans it up.🙂

This product usually works like a charm. Just open your windows wide: Tamiya 250ml Airbrush Cleaner, TAM87089 👍

Hey Roberto, just ordered a couple of containers of the Tamiya 250ml Airbrush Cleaner. Thanks for the info.👍

Thanks for the heads up Roland, does it hurt the rubber seals inside the airbrush. I thought I would strip down the airbrush and soak it for a little while. I'm using a Pacshe Talon airbrush at the moment.

Thanks Roland & Hans, the only rubber seal is at the bottom of the trigger, it's black but should be fine if I don't soak it for too long. Paint and other cleaning solvents get into that part of the body so it should be fine.🤔
