Response to I use MM's Airbrush thinner for their paints

Funny. I've been using lacquer thinner for 20 years because of the price of MM thinner. I'll give turpentine a go. I don't mind the smell; it's no worse than lacquer! To answer a previous poster's question, I'm using an Iwata HP. Also, I didn't strip it per se. I just wet sanded it and then washed it. Oh and Eduard's canopy masks are highly recommended. They provide two sets of masks, one slightly smaller than the other, which allows one to replicate the yellowish brown seal around the glazings. I'll find out soon enough how well I aligned them. This thing is going to be a beast: full weapons load of Mk.82 under the wings and fuselage, so I still have much work to do. I'll be posting picks in a few weeks. Thanks all!
