You, Sir, are a gentleman. Keep up the good work.

cheers pal for what you have said tried to make it so people would understand that most "acrylic" paints are water based but a few ie tamiya call some of the paints acrylic and its easy unless you know that mixing water with these will result in a disaster as i have found out in the past i understand i should probably have explained it differently ie not use the word enamel as it may make some people think that they are enamels when they are not also in uk we dont get the full tamiya range ie the enamel stuff so i suppose in other areas of the world different products may get mistaken if i dont give the exact product name which is fair enough in my book personally i just do the videos as a way to keep me busy and as a way to help other model makers where possible in the couple years i have been making videos i have made mistakes and admit it and also accept when i get told that i got something wrong i also remember from when i first started model making and only paints we had was the humbrol and revell enamel small tins and now we have more paints than you can imagine thanks for the comments and glad you enjoyed the video

Tamiya XF acrylics aren't "inaccurately labelled". You are presenting disinformation ignorant of the facts unaware of their chemistry and choose to remain so. Tamiya XF Acrylics are NOT an "acrylic lacquer' any more than Mr. Hobby Aqueous which GSI Creos themselves refer to as a "water based acrylic" are. Both contain chemical solvents in their carrier, but are true Acrylics. Q.E.D. it's a bonus that Tamiya XF acrylics are compatible with their own & GSI Creos high odour hobby lacquer thinners but do not require them, X20A being Tamiya's recommended less noxious and lower odour thinner recommended for their XF Acrylic range. If you want to witness definitive incompatibility, combine any of the thinners from Tamiya or Creos Mr. Color ranges into a Vallejo polymer acrylic and watch what happens. 🤭 Tamiya LP are Tamiya's bottled lacquers the equivalent of GSI Creos Mr. Color Lacquer range. To reiterate Tamiya X & XF Acrylics (as opposed their X & XF Enamels, so labeled supplied in their signature small square base bottle) are true acrylic based paints NOT Acrylic Lacquers. Q.E.D.

tamiya are lacquer paints but need to be treated in my old mans view like enamel paints as they will gunk up airbrushes and your normal paint brush if you try adding water to them as they are labled as acrylics now i aint gonna get into a argument with you as i was only trying in the video to show even if the bottle says acrylic then dont presume they always are anyways thanks for commenting

Precisely. And he's just spreading this misinfo abetted by arrogant reinforcement from others even more ignorant... were that possible. 🙄

@@yorkshiremanmodels FFS how many times do you need to be told. Justt as Tamiya LP is NOT an enamel and behaves nothing like an enamel, Tamiya XF Acrylic is NOT a "lacquer" paint. They are labeled as Acrylic because that's what they are. 🙄Quit being lazy and arrogant. Do some researched homework. As for gunk up airbrushes. That's beyond hilarious compared with Vallejo Model Air and Model Color guaranteed to tip dry in the nozzle ferociously without handling their finicky thinner and flow improver composition and ratios characteristics when spraying with kid gloves.

as you correctly said its x20a thats the acrylic thinner but in the uk there is no tamiya x20 what we have is tamiya lacquer thinner i know from past experience you can get the x20 enamel shipped to uk but its damned expensive and as such i dont buy it or know anyone that does and thanks for pointing it out about the x20a as i forget we cant all buy the same stuff around the world and as such should remember to word stuff better cheers

@@yorkshiremanmodels You're still confused. Read what I wrote and listen to what you said, then subsequently wrote here in response. If you're confused and presenting that disinformation, the lay or wannabe modeller has no hope. It's not difficult. One just needs to know the product and pay attention in presentation. You were ascribing properties which were completely erroneous to the products mentioned and displayed. Clearly a fail on both points. I mean, how much harder is it to say X-20A and get it right than saying "X-20?" Even so, that error alone doesn't justify you compounding it by referring to the chemical composition of Tamiya XF Acrylic and Tamiya LP Lacquer as, paraphrased "really being enamels". You Tube viewers outside the UK watch the same vid -not prefixed by for parochial UK viewers only. Perhaps be mindful of that? Bottom line. Misinfo is misinfo. Locale doesn't justify it.

From your comments, it is clear that you are an intelligent and experienced modeller. We are all at different levels in the hobby. Yorkshireman is a decent and honest man that ALWAYS pre qualifies with a statement that the methods used are what He employs - from His personal experience. Never does he suggest that everyone should use the same products in the same way. He has fun, and that is the primary reason we do this.

@martinriise8806 Facts don't care. They are what they are. Note I said misinformation not disinformation in my references to his repeated and numerous erroneous assertions which mislead perpetuating mythology & ignorance. His response is to justify in order to preserve ego abetted by his fanboys. 🙄 No matter how hard they try to convince themselves & others otherwise, 0 + 0 can never = anything but 0. He needs to get it right. His own confusion in the vid is exacerbated by repropagating his fallacious nonsense to those who know no better which turn perpetuates it. Think of my helping him as the Dr. curing the spread of an infectious disease,... because I care. 🥰 Someone has to. You're welcome. No charge.

The main point he was making is its not a pure acrylic, though its advertised as that. Should be displayed as an acrylic lacquer so people can choose a thinner more accurately aka Mr.Hobby if Tamiya thinners aren't available. Good paint,but not a pure acrylic so bad labelling. He is talking about mixability after all

i know they are lacquers rather than enamels but i was trying to explain how they behave more like enamels than acrylics and as such should not be thinned with water as for deleting comments ect i have never ever deleted a coment or intend to and if your posting stuff swearing ect then youtube will auto remove them cheers

@@RedViking2020 1. No that wasn't the main point he was making -literally. 2. And you're wrong too. That Tamiya XF-7 bottle he showed and referred to IS an acrylic resin based paint, not a lacquer. It doesn't behave anything like an enamel. And XF acrylic's carrier isn't lacquer thinners although hobby lacquer thinners can be used with them. 3. They are advertised as exactly what they are. They were around a long time before Vallejo, MIG or AK Interactive polymer resin based acrylics using water as their carrier. 4. X-20A is its thinner. He referred to it as X-20, Tamiya's enamel thinner a mega mistake as the two are completely incompatible. He also referred to LP as an enamel inferring the same "X-20" was used for both. FFS! Clearly as clueless as you are. 5. You can't just refer to the entire GSI Creos' thinners range as "Mr.Hobby". And Creos' Lacquer thinners are prefixed Mr. Color just as Mr. Hobby prefixes their Aqueous Acrylic thinners. Creos make a range of quite different chemical composition thinner products of even more confusing nomenclature with similar incompatibility characteristics to those of Tamiya. One needs to be SPECIFIC and 100% accurate when providing information about intra-compatibility. 6. Tamiya is distributed so well world wide, "aren't available" is a straw argument. Case in point, he was holding a 250ml bottle of X-20A in his hand. Talking about "mixability" in just those instances illustrated, bottom line is that the misinformation he provided was 100% erroneous. There's no justification or defence to that. Time to place ego aside, admit that vid is full of holes, errors and misinformation indeliberate or otherwise and just do the vid again, perhaps scripted this time?

@@yorkshiremanmodels As you can read here, I neither swear nor abuse and the post was apolitical. So no. The comment referred to inquired politely two years on since you posted the vid if you had actually since built that Hobbyboss 1/35 Marder III Ausf. M (Late) you did an inbox review on. I surmised giving the answer "No" must have somehow been embarrassing to ego, as the my inquiring post mysteriously disappeared into the deleted aether. I've already elaborated elsewhere that Tamiya XF Acrylic is an acrylic like Mr. Hobby Aqueous H prefixed range are an acrylic, Tamiya LP is a lacquer the same as GSI Creos Mr. Color C prefixed range are lacquers. And let's not touch on Mr. Hobby Acrysion and what its thinner is.

@@RedViking2020 Tamiya's XF Acrylic range paints are not a "lacquer" even if they are compatible with a range of manufacturer's lacquer thinners, and they don't require lacquer thinner to thin them. They are a true acrylic resin based paint regardless Tamiya X-20A or a compatible chemistry non-lacquer thinner is the primary thinner produced & manufacturer recommended for them. That they are compatible with most brand hobby lacquer thinner is a bonus. Their MSDF is readily available. Moresoever Tamiya's XF Acrylics were around in the hobby a figurative aeon before the likes of Johnny come lately usurpers Vallejo MIG, AK Interactive et al polymer water carrier base acrylics were. Both are acrylics. Q.E.D. If is speaking on mixability, our friend needs to get his facts straight, literally. Facts don't care about intent, just accuracy. Speaking of which you can't just refer to the entire GSI Creos of thinner products as "Mr. Hobby". If you want verbose confusing nomenclature, no one tops GSI Creos. *Mr. Hobby* is Creos Aqueous thinner prefix, Creos' equivalent of X-20A. Even Creos refer to it as "water based color" despite inclusion of additional chemical solvents. No? Go check their website for the former and MSDS for the latter. *Mr. Color* is Creos lacquer thinner range offered in three different chemical compositions vs Tamiya's two. Then there's Acrysion Thinner... for Creos' water based acrylics. 🙄

yes it should be fine

i prefer the bottle ak paints but i do use both

used to use pledge a long long time ago and eventually went over to more dedicated modelling gloss when pledge was removed from sale

Agree. Vallejo aren't my favourite acrylics, but I have a rather large collection (around 100 colours, all the RLM, Panzer RAL, RAF sets) of Vallejo Model Air (90%) and Model Color (10%) from when I standardised on them a few years back, so I continue to use them. They definitely need to be permitted to evaporatively dry and cure for > 48 hours for my liking before recoating, masking or generally handling them expecting some resilience. I found that they perform best thinning with a quality medium or thinner too. After experimentation I'd never use water, even distilled. I've used Vallejo's own Thinner Medium, but I prefer and use Lifecolor Acrylic Thinner to thin them with as I find it works better than Vallejo's both in terms of laying down, adhesion and leveling, but also avoiding the dreaded airbrush nozzle tip drying. I use it with their grey primer too. Give a very satisfactory prime coat, but as you say, need to give it time to cure. I suspect Lifecolor Thinner contains a smidge of retarder in its constituency. I've started restandardising on Tamiya Acrylics with a few GSI Creos Aqueous (same thing) thrown in for good measure -I don't mind mixing for colours/ shades. Also used Tamiya Lacquers before heading to co-standardise on AK Interactive Real Color Lacquers (now a large and growing collection approaching that of my Vallejo range). Those two are my go to now, again with sizeable ranges of Tamiya Acrylics and Real Colour Interactive Lacquers. I use a range of thinners to thin them with from Real colour High Compatibility through Tamiya Lacquer thinner with and without retarder as well as X-22A, the latter confined only to the Acrylics. Problem free. Love 'em all. With the exception of Lifecolor used with their own thinner, all the water based acrylics even from the big names like AK Interactive, MIG Jimenez or Vallejo are finicky IME&O. As always the disclaimer, OMMV.

heard a lot of people are moving over to ultimate airbrush thinner and i have used the cleaner before and found it to be a great airbrush cleaner

glad you liked it the galleria matt varnish i believe is water based as it can be thinned using water i tend to thin it with tamiya x20 as it makes it dry a bit quicker and it does need thinning for airbrushing

honestly i never used to when i brush painted my models in the past using enamels and found the paint went down fine

i dont use spray cans so couldnt really comment about them in the video

@yorkshiremanmodels when used with a "can gun" you get much better control over the spray can......and you dont get any paint on your finger.🤣🤣

Expensive though. Good as a primer

@@Damien-q8t lol i get paint everywhere pal not the first time a pot of paint has been spilled thats for sure lol

@beercrazy5487 i know that feeling,lol🤣🤣🤣

going to try some fine detail this week with it to see if its better control than my usual airbrush

cheers pal didnt know that

its a cracking kit and hopefully you enjoy yours

@@yorkshiremanmodels I have just made a seccond one. Different box and scheam. Havent painted either yet though. Then i did a tiger moth and a 109. Not painted them either. Just got a bit carried awway with building.

cheers pal

think humbrol changed the paints a while ago and the silver may have been one of the paints that got redone

the brush pens i got from amazon and think they are around 5 quid for 3 pens the windsor newton matt varnish i thin with tamiya x20 around 60 to 40% thinner but you can use water instead but it takes longer to dry

it also saves a lot of time messing about cleaning airbrush just to change paint colour

i find if i polish the needle with some really fine polish the airbrush tends to spray fine details even better

@@conradrobinson3315 I used Elmer's goes on purple dries clear glue I got it from Asda in UK but I have seen it in many places for sale It is quite cheap as well I used to use basic white glue but it wasn't very strong

cheers

going to try doing some fine details with it this week sorry about the late reply but i have been full of cold the last week or so and work has been hectic so gave modelling and youtube a break for a week

your welcome pal

i use windsor newton matt varnish i usually thin it about 60/40 and use tamiya x20a but i have recently done it at 70/30 and though its thicker it still sprays well

Thanks mate, love the work, you’re a great help to a beginner like me!

its from a while ago that video and knowing uk inflation since i did it the prices will probably be higher now

Glad it was helpful!

thanks

good luck pal and hope you enjoy yours as much as i did

never done the monogram version

Thanks 👍

cheers pal

the compressor was awful pal and i couldnt believe how loud it was

certainly my favorite

yea i may say some weird stuff at times lol but i was always brought up with calling them either decals not deckles makes me cringe when my wife calls them stickers

@@yorkshiremanmodels When I made dead simple Airfix kits in school 60 years ago, they were transfers. That's still how I think of them, I have a strong dislike of anything that even hints at American English.

hehe best advise for many reasons

thanks for the comments and your right that model making should be fun i also came back to model making a few years ago after a spell away from the hobby and it was my daughter who convinced me to make youtube videos i make mistakes and show them because at the end of the day i believe in showing all the good bits and bad bits of kits including my mistakes that i make and welcome to the channel pal i hope you enjoy it

thanks

Glad you like it!

you can get a bad kit if the moulds for the kit are not lined up perfectly had the same kit twice before and had 1 of them so badly moulded it was a pain to do while the other exact same kit was a dream to build
