blues90, I have a preference for water based paints such as Tamiya for Military models to me it is a consistent paint. Recently, I have used Testor's Flat Gull Grey in a spray can to give some of my fright cars a uniform grey. I am a brush painter and use spray paint cans to get large areas covered. I hope someday to learn airbrushes, however. Remember that solvent paints can be hard to mix or use at times and water based paints clean up easy and tends to dry "top dry" rather quickly. To offer you a chance to understand a mix, perhaps a sheet of .030 syrene (Spelling: Plastic) will offer you a test bed in which to match your colors before applying it to that nice PK-2. I also use Testor's Glosscote to give a decal something to hold onto and the dullcote to kill the shine. I hope this assists you in some small way. Good Luck, Lee
