It sounds like the paint isn't a problem but you're running it at too high a pressure. The fact you're getting blobs of running paint indicates that too much is coming out in one go in one spot. They key with airbrushes is to find the right pressure for the paint you're using so it atomises properly. This is especially important if its single action.

I would suggest playing with the PSI, reducing it and testing it out. Certain brushes and paints combinations will atomise quite happily at certain PSI. For instance, I run my Iwata Revolution at 9lbs with 30% diluted Tamiya paints because that brush happily atomises thicker paints at lower pressures. If I run it higher than that, I have to use a paint retarder because it will dry before it hits the thing I'm painting. I actually clean my brush at 25 PSI or there abouts.

Yes go to Artistichobbies.com and go to decals look through the decals a bit and the decals 131 will appear, that's all I found

I saw 131 for Panther on their site, not for a tiger

It's official , I suck at airbrushing
Gonna need lots more practice
