Ive seen videos of people using thinned down oil paints (it seems to have been “a thing” for airplane modellers for a while) but there’s always a lot of tidying up afterwards.

The Tamiya panel paint is enamel, apparently, and looks like it has stronger pigmentation than a thin oil wash. There’s something helping with surface tension too as it really seems to cling to the edges.

I nearly paid through the nose to get some from a UK supplier but went for an eBay seller instead; I’ll have three different colours here in about a fortnight.

Does anyone out there have any experience with these, who can share some tips and tricks?
