Robert,

I know what your saying about using an Acrylic paint with Lacquer thinner, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that you can clean up Tamiya with Tap water or Windex, which is better then using Lacquer to clean out your airbrush if you use Enamels or Lacquer in it.

Plus Tamiya paint sets up faster then enamel paint and is pretty much impervious to applying washes and what not to it...I've had plenty of bad experiences with my Enamel paint lifting on me when I applied washes to them about 20 years ago. Since then I've used nothing but Acylrics or lacquer based paints.
