Yes, I picked some up when they replaced the Aqueous line at a local shop. They do indeed airbrush very well, but with some peculiarities. And they are not very hand brush friendly in my experience. I don't think that I will be replacing the ones I have once those are gone. They really do not have any colors that I can not find in another preferred line that I must have. Give me Humbrol enamels any day of the year ;)

I have bought some mr color Aqueous. I have not tried them yet. I though thet should be thinnened with acrylic thinner, what is the advantage of using laquer thinner?

The advantage of Mr. Color Lacquer Thinner (Yellow Label - The number only tells you the content in ml) is that you can dilute both Gunze ranges with it (Lacquer and Aqueous) plus all Tamiya paints.
I recommend Mr. Leveling thinner, it's the same stuff plus retarder.

The only advantage would be a bit quicker drying time. You can do anything you want with the aqueous paints using their acrylic thinner that you can using a lacquer thinner. Jim is right though, Mr color paints make airbrushing so easy and fun, the only downside is smell and clean up.
