I understand it’s just a pre-thinned version of their Model Color line. Should it be thinned anyway? How about a retarder or flow improver - for brushing?
I find Air usually to watery for brush painting. I think if a small detail it can be used. No need to use thinner or flow improver. Really if there was a paint thickener, that would be helpful.

It’s a different painting experience, but I still recommend using a Wet Palette to keep it active. HTH.

I have a few shades of bright green color from model air (but can’t remember which ones they are) but I use them for hand painting grass on vignettes and my figure bases. I do use it on my wet palette yes.

I think as Ryan, they are too thin for regular brush painting. Maybe with several layers, awaiting to dry between them, it could work. But better use Model Color.

They can be hit and miss with brush painting- typically I find that the lighter the color is the worse the coverage. The good thing is they flow nicely right out of the bottle.

Not great for brush painting. You need a couple of coats to get a good solid colour and definitely need a primer undercoat as they can pool and form little puddles when brushed on bare plastic.
Now their Modelair metallics are another story. I find they brush beautifully. The silver and aluminium come out looking very nice even when brushed.
