Hi! I was working on a model, and while I airbrushed most of it, I still have to hand paint the details. While I was handing painting part of this model a bit of paint flecked onto the airbrushed section, and I dont have any of that color of paint in the traditional variety, only the airbrush mix. Can I just take my (non-air) brush and touch up these sections with the airbrush paint?

That depends if airbrush paints are just thinned versions of standard paints

I do it all the time. Not the exact same look but works good enough

Its just citadel paints, sp I think it should be fine, I just wanted to double check before I did something stupid and ruined a months long project

Airbrush paints are just regular paints, but super diluted. You'll find their consistency very watery and you'll have to do a lot of layers/glazes to get any sort of translucency or opacity in coverage.

But otherwise, you kind of can? It's just...lots of work.
