AK Gen3 acrylic thinners

[Beanie]

I am just about to order some AK gen3 varnish and I was wondering about thinners. Scale Model Shop has a listing for AK gen 3 acrylic thinners but is currently out of stock. Would Vallejo thinners work or is water a good enough stopgap untill Scale Model Shop has stock again?

Andy,
I wouldn't mix different thinners - you may be alright, but I have had AK3 paints react badly ( to IPA ), luckily in a plastic shot glass - I shudder to think what it would have done to the airbrush innards. ( which is why I never mix anything in the airbrush cup! ). I've used South Gloucestershire tapwater with no problems for my AK3 paints & never had any problem!

Thanks Dave. Let’s hope north wilts water is ok for the time being.

Yes Andrew Dave is right, I use AK 3rd gen paints and only use their thinners.
