How to airbrush Badger stynylez primer for scale models
Interesting my Vallejo thinner is like a white liquid and the retarder was like a thick gel so it was hard to know how much retarder to use. I did think with certain colors you have to play around with it as some colors it seemed the paint was too thick. Ps. Ok so I found out that I used Thinner Medium instead of Airbrush thinner I did not know the're are two different kinds.
doing this model at the moment, where did you get the splatter stencil you used at start? Seems a lot easier using that than airbrushing squiggley pattern in each panel.
Hi, how much do you add retarder to the paint?
@@AlexG-ex4sg hi, I don’t add retarder directly to the paint. I add it into the mixture with the thinner and flow improver. But the formula is: 7 parts flow improver, 3 parts thinner, 1 part retarder.
It is just works. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
@@igorrabinovich3386 glad to hear it’s working for you!
Thank’s a lot for your time and knowledge)
@@artemcherednichenko8183 I’m glad it was useful to you. Gotta admit it was really fun as well. I’m hoping to do more in the future! I was thinking of doing to a full painting of a 1/48 Tamiya Corsair
I have had a lot of success using Golden airbrush medium for thinning Stynylrez and Pro Acryl primer through my H&S Infinity. I believe the Golden airbrush medium is a mix of thinner and flow improver. I am interested to try your mix. Do you have a favoured brand of flow improvef and thinner? I'm not a huge fan of the Vallejo stuff.
@@madMARTYNmarsh1981 I have wanted to test the Golden airbrush medium, as I have heard good things about it. When you try my mixture formula, I would love to hear what you think compared to the Golden medium. For creating the formula I use Vallejo ingredients as they readily available where I am. But you can use other brands. I don’t recommend mixing different brands together as that has created issues. Hope that helps!
Again, thank you for sharing your techniques. Extremely helpful for us peon beginners
You’re welcome! And hey we all were beginners at some point.
What is the psi when you are putting down the paint?
12-15psi. Don’t go higher or it cause a gritty dull look
If you keep your bottles clean-up would have this problem ,cut tamiya paints with Mr hobby leaving thinner wear a mask when spraying any paints
Very informative thankyou, what is the best needle size to use in the airbrush.
@@Marks_Channel glad you liked the video! Regarding needle size, you can use any needle size you prefer. I prefer to use .2mm. But you can use .3, .4, .5, .6, etc,
I get this is an old video now (great one by the way) but you can pre-shade over a black base (black basing) simply by reversing the process. Instead of darkening down the panel lines you lighten the centres of the panels. So you lay your black primer down, then use a white or light grey and spray the centre of the panels. Or you can take it further and randomly spray in the centre of the panels (marbling).
Thanks for the video, what airbrush and compressor are you using?
Hey, so I have 50 airbrushes. Don’t focus on the airbrush, you can use pretty much use any decent airbrush for this. It’s the technique that’s most important. For the compressor, I use a Sil-20a. It’s an oil compressor, which makes it so quiet that I forget it is on. It is whisper level, but it is pricey. However, if you take care of it. It will last a long time. I’ve had mine for 15 years.
Great video and very helpful. Any tips on cleaning the mess? Any lacquer thinner work? Any recommendations?
@@kastlerock01 hey, so lacquer definitely will clean up Tamiya paints. But lacquer thinner is very toxic and you need to be careful when using it. Plus the smell is incredibly powerful. If you live with people or pets, they might complain. Thus I prefer to use Simple Green. It’s a natural cleaner you can find at your local Walmart for about $5 a bottle. It eats through acrylics like a hot knife through butter.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thanks for the quick response. Glad to know something so simple will work to clean out my brush. Wasn’t sure as I haven’t worked with Tamiya much and with it being like an oil based paint had some apprehension. 🤙
Please give me recipe again for thinking Vallejo acrylic paint
Thinning!! My mistake
@@joelslutsky7370 the recipe is 7 parts flow improver, 3 parts thinner, 1 part retarder
How many parts paint?
@@joelslutsky7370I recommend starting at 50/50 thinner to paint at 18-20 psi. Depending on where you live, if it’s really hot…you want your do 60/40 thinner to paint. Make sure to share the bottle really well.
how would i airbrush vallejo 70.660 acrylic glos primer with a .35mm airbrush?
@@coryy4543 there is a couple of ways you airbrush Vallejo Gloss with a .35mm airbrush 1) you can airbrush it straight from the bottle and thin it 70/30 primer to thinner, at 20 psi. It will cure in 24 to 48 hours. If you try to sand it before then it will most likely gum up on itself. 2) you can use Future, as I did in my video. Thin it 70/30 primer to future at 20 psi. It will make the primer more resilient. Give it one hour to dry and cure. 3) You can use my thinner mixture in my Vallejo video. Thin it 70/30 or 60/40 primer to thinner mixture at 20 psi. My thinner mixture also will make the paint resilient. But it will cause the gloss to dissipate and you will need to spray a gloss on top of the primer. Hope that helps!
Very informative video, you answered a lot of my questions! Keep up the good work!
Glad you like the video!
thank you for the tips, you are the best. i have a .35 mm needle it looks like airbrushing whites with this size needle works if you apply the principles you are teaching. i have haad alot of trouble with white paint when i built my B52 bomber and Argentine a-4 skyhawk
Hey Cory, yes a .35mm airbrush will work fine as long as you apply good airbrushing techniques. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@@jlanks872 hey the winning number was 651
Can I just use Vallejo thinner to thin the paint ? Also does model air needs to be thinned or not ?
Hey, you can use Vallejo thinner to thin both Vallejo Model Color and Model Air. While Vallejo states that Model Air is pre-thinned for airbrushing. That is not fully accurate, because they tested the paint in particular laboratory conditions. Unless you have the same conditions in your hobby room, you won't get the same results. Thus you have to thin the paint properly. For the best results, I recommend using the thinner mixture in my video. It will give you consistent airbrushing results and makes the paint more resilient.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Do you think also 17mL of Vallejo brown will be enough to paint the top of my Spitfire Tamiya MK1 1/48?
@@OdysseyAviation oh yes, more than enough. You will probably only need 20 drops of paint.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Hover i only have Vallejo airbrush thinner nothing else
@@OdysseyAviation you can use the thinner to airbrush. I would recommend thinning the paint 50/50 at 18 psi. But you will get tip dry more often with just the thinner. So just be aware of that and make sure to keep wiping the needle as needed.
Very good tutorial

Can I use Vallejo thinner to thin Tamiya paints ?
I haven't tried Vallejo Thinner with Tamiya paints. I however don't think it will work because Vallejo is water-based acrylics and Tamiya is an alcohol-based acrylic. I would recommend sticking to Mr. Hobby Leveling thinner for best results or Tamiya X-20A. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video and the mixture I will try it, because I have problems right now with Vallejo primers. My first question is: How do you prepare the surface before priming? Do you use dish soap and water or rinsing after cleaning with IPA? My second question is: What is the optimal distance to prime a model? When I prime it looks like I am spraying dried particles? My third question is: Is the recommended psi value for the situation where the trigger is pressed? When I set my psi to 20 and press the trigger it drops to something like 17 psi. My fourth question is: How long should I wait before painting over? My fifth question is: How many coats of primer? My sixth question is: Is 0.3mm needle is good for the job? Thank you again.
Thanks for the video and the mixture I will try it, because I have problems right now with Vallejo primers. Glad you like the video. Hopefully, I can answer your questions fully. My first question is: How do you prepare the surface before priming? Do you use dish soap and water or rinsing after cleaning with IPA? So most of the time, I don’t prepare the surface. I don’t know what kind of models you build. But I am an airplane guy, most modern kits don’t have the “oily residue” problem that older kits had. To be honest, it might best to wash the kits before to be safe. Now I will say, once the model is assembled and ready to be primed. I DEFINITELY wash my model with Dawn liquid dish soap. I do this because I have sweaty hands and want to make sure I don’t leave finger prints. You can also use IPA….but I find IPA is pretty expensive. Dawn liquid dish soap is $3 dollars for a bottle and lasts forever. My second question is: What is the optimal distance to prime a model? When I prime it looks like I am spraying dried particles? So if you’re getting dried particles you are probably too far from the model. I recommend 4-5 centimeters from the model. And this both for priming the model and airbrushing the paint. If you look at my videos, you can see I am about 4-5 centimeters (NOT INCHES) from the model. You want the paint or the primer to lay down wet. Laying down wet helps the paint and primer level better. But the opposite side of this is, if you are to close, it will make the paint/primer run. When you do this, don’t blast the primer on, go nice and easy. Same with paint, you should get a beautiful smooth finish. My third question is: Is the recommended psi value for the situation where the trigger is pressed? When I set my psi to 20 and press the trigger it drops to something like 17 psi. For primers, I recommend above 20 psi. You are correct, when you press down the trigger, the PSI drops. But if you start 25, it will drop but you will still be over 20psi. I DON”T recommend 25psi for painting acrylics. Stay within 15-20 psi for acrylic painting. My fourth question is: How long should I wait before painting over? Ok, so waiting time depends on how you decide to go about airbrushing Vallejo primer. If you decide to airbrush Vallejo without using my thinner mixture or adding in Future, you MUST wait at least 24-48 hours. Vallejo takes a very very long time to cure (it dries fast but curing is different). But if you decide to use my mixture or add in future, you can wait 15 mins and put paint on top. But if you need to sand the primer, wait 45 mins. My fifth question is: How many coats of primer? As many as you need to cover the model surface. So if you use a white primer, it will take more coats to cover things. That is just the property of white primer/paint. But Grey and Black primer covers pretty quickly. Normally I find 2-3 coats with Grey or Black cover everything. My sixth question is: Is 0.3mm needle is good for the job? You can, but you will get clogging faster. Better to use a .5mm. Let me know if you have any further questions. I also recommend joining the Facebook Group I created. You can learn from other acrylic users as well!
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Thank you for your quick reply. I will drop at a hobby store to buy a retarder to use your mix. It is the only thing I am missing right now. I was spraying with 20 psi from 20 cm (My first model kit) and had curing problems. Even after 5 days it seems to peel off, I will try 5 cm. I am looking forward to trying your formula. Do you have any tips for brush painting Vallejo Air paints? Your videos are very informative and problem solving I believe; I am looking forward to seeing more from you. Thank you.
@@yasinsen6301 Yeah 20 cm from the model is way to far. But also Vallejo primers (if you don't add in Future or my mixture) take forever to dry. As far as brush painting Vallejo Air, it requires several coats. Vallejo air is formulated for airbrushing. Vallejo Model Color is made for brush painting, it is thinner and has a higher pigment count. And thank you for the kind words, I am hoping to have a few new videos out soon!
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 I finally tried your mixture, painted from 5cm. I still have curing and adhesion problems. My kit is miniart, I washed it with dish soap before painting. Do you think I use less primer than it is needed. I usually gradually prime by pulling the trigger as little as possible. I am not sure it causes prime to dry before it reaches the surface or something else. I will try more.
@@yasinsen6301 hmm sorry to hear you are still having issues. Are you able to connect directly? I want to see what is going on, that will help me see the problem. Are you on facebook? I started a group there and if you join and reach out to me directly, we can do video call.
What airbrush did you use?
I used 2 different airbrushes in the video: the Harder Steenbeck Evolution and Infinity. But don’t fixated on the airbrush, the techniques are the most important part. If you understand them, you can use any airbrush.
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thank you!
is this formula just for vallejo model air or can it be used with all version of vallejo paints?
Hi, you can use this formula with Vallejo Model Color. I have a video on airbrushing model color on my channel. More importantly, you can use this formula with any “water-based” acrylic paint (Ammo, AK, Army painters, etc). Hope this helps!
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 thanks...will check out the video
70% flow improver? That seems a lot
There is a good reason why amazing modellers think gloss coat is not always needed and those not upto that level should politely shut the f*ck up. :)
If they go to a plastic bottle they'll just evaporate like the rest do and if you wipe the top you dont get the dry paint plus you can't easily knock over a tamiya pot 😊
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video.
Non si capisce nulla dal video e non sono così bravo con l'inglese. Certo risulta complicato usare il primer vallejo ad areografo. Ho usato duse ed ago 0,5. Io sono andato a tentativi con sei gocce di primer 1 goccia di thinner e 1 goccia di Flow. Non avevo il ritarder
Wow thats alot of thinnning!!. Thanks bud!!
Very confused, if your gonna do a video talking about your thinner, than you need to explain what the thinner is
Hi Brian, sorry for the confusion. I should have clarified more that the video to the mixture is linked at top and in the description section. Hope this helps!
I just bought an iwata M2 and a bunch of tamiya paints - I'm sure you've saved me hours of trial and error. Awesome video!
Glad I could help!
70%+30%=10%=110% !!!)
So introspective I didn’t clearly explain myself. Here are two ways which might help clarify things: The way to look at is, the formula is 2 parts: 90% liquid + 10% retarder. The liquid portion is 70% flow improver + 30%thinner. The retarder is just the retarder. You don’t need to be precise with the retarder portion. If you live in a colder environment you might only need 3-5% retarder and the rest liquid mixture. But if you live in a hotter environment like me, you probably want to do around 10% retarder. The thing I want everyone to note, you have to have all 3 ingredients for the formula to work effectively. And here is an even more simplified way: 7 part flow improver, 3 parts thinner and 1 part retarder
Hey, I was just watching (again) your video and I heard you mentioned the Hataka paints. I was searching yesterday on YT for videos related to these paints cause I'm interested in using them on my spitfire build but didn't find any thorough/useful (at least what I define thorough/useful) video. I really liked the accuracy of these colors and the wide range Hataka offers. Do you have any tips to give me on their acrylics - Red line like, with what thinners they work best, ratio, airbrush needle and psi. Tbh my airbrush is a very basic,cheap "all in one" kit and doesn't go above 15psi, at 21psi it turns off automatically I think. Thank you very much in advance!
Hi, yes I can give you tips on Hataka Red line. So I tested with my thinner mixture (the one in this video) a while back. The mixture in my video works on all water based acrylics With the red line, I did 60:40 thinner to paint ratio at around 18psi. They worked really well at that range and thinning. Hope this helps!
@@arewethereyetmodeling2196 Thank you very much!
I grew up on food 😂
Hi and thank you for all the great videos you upload, they are very helpful! Have a question, you thinned X-22 by 50-50, would the same thinning ratio also apply for the LP9/LP24 or since they are lacquers the ration should change (always at the range of 15psi)?
Hi Bill, glad you like the videos. Regarding your questions 1) no matter what type of gloss (acrylic, lacquer, enamel), always use low air pressure, 12-15 psi. And make sure to do wet coats. 2) with the LP9 LP24, you can airbrush then out the bottle. But for best results I recommend using Mr hobby leveling thinner. Thin at 50/50 low pressure, so wet coats, not to far from the surface. You should get a beautiful finish. Let it dry 24 hours.
Thank you very much, I was gonna use mr color thinner anyway but I just wanted to know if and how much I should thin them. Thanks again and keep up the good work 👍👍
Hi. Thanks a lot for the share. If possible, could you further explain the amount of retarder used? It is 70% Flow improver 30% Thinner. And then 10% retarder. So if you make 100ml then it means you add 10ml retarder or + 10% volume on top? I am a bit confused with the 70/30/10 "percent"
Hi Rivian, introspect I didn’t explain that properly. So the way to look at is, the formula is 2 parts: 90% liquid + 10% goo(retarder). The liquid portion is 70% flow improver + 30%thinner. Hope this clarifies things more. So you add 90% liquid and 10% retarder=100
Does it produces outgassing at 37 degree celcius?
I have just started doing aeroplanes as i am an armor guy. you mentioned blowing air to help the primer dry. would a hair dryer on low work too?
Hi yes blow dryer works. But I just blew air via my airbrush.
