It dries before it leaves the airbrush tip. Lately, I have had more success airbrushing acrylic, especially heavily thinned as a weathering agent. I don't know if the paint has gotten better, or that it has been wetter and cooler around here lately.
Kevin, in the past I've had difficulty spraying Polly Scale, but I think that they may have improved it. I also read their recommendations for airbrushing and find, as they say, that distilled water works much better than alcohol as a thinner (doesn't dry in the tip of the airbrush) and that lower spraying pressures (15-20lbs.) seem to give better results with little or no clogging. Both of these suggestions run counter to what I've read elsewhere on the internet.
