Its only going to work on larger things though bust smaller things are seldom textured on all sides You should try hanging you models on a hook, its what they do when spraying real cars. that way you can spray it all in one go.

I read some where that it helps paint flow through an airbrush because of that. More or less so than ordinary tap water I couldn't say! Coverage is a bit spotty, mainly because I had to remix the Vermin Brown while waiting for the top of the vehicle to dry so I could spray the undercarriage. Unfortunately my first mix was spot on, while my second was far too watery. Some areas will be touched up by hand prior to applying Marmite and additional coats. GW/Citadel paints seem to airbrush ok as well. The wiper fluid is just a mild pre-mixed detergent. I read some where that it helps paint flow through an airbrush because of that.

I love the stuff. Wiper fluids a new one on me, can you explain what it does to the mix. I am very impressed with your airbrushing too, I have a hard time maintaining that kind of coverage . which is why I havent hit any models with mine yet...

Must be one of the few things I don't like and won't eat. This sounds very simular to the toothpaste whitewash trick Ahh sounds like the perfect use for the entire worlds supply of the nasty black stuff!

I use a ripped up square of the packing foam that comes in every Flames of War blister. I'm hoping to master the airbrush well enough to batch paint and entire German Flames of War armored company one weekend!
