SO here is the latest. I Admit I did not have AK thinner and that was the issue I think, by the time I got to 3rd of six, I was having MAJOR issues with the AB clogging up! yes , I DID have the correct 'retarder' and tried both distilled water and windex. After considerable frustration I just said "Oh the heck with this" and re-used some of the dark base color I still had to cover up the worst of the clogging and "all-or-nothing" Paint blasts.
I achieved and OK look for now, again, I MAY try it with the thinner, but so far, my two experiences with acrylics (this one and a Merkava using Valejo Air) have been a LOT more trouble than they are worth. For the $30 I spent for these 6 paints, I could have spent less than half that for Tamiya and just mixed as I went, which is what I may try the next time 'round.
