hi im curious to what your preferences are when it comes to paints, in the past ive mainly used tamiya acryllics but recently i bough a bulk load of model colour paints by vallejo and i think im converted now, the colours are ecellent and the bottles are ideal with the droplet applicator. Now im only using what i need and mixing them is a dream?
whats your favourite?

Model Master Acrylics. I just started using some of Lifecolors which seem pretty nice thus far.

Well, I just ordered the German WWII pack of Vallejo from Mich Toy (10% Off in June!)

I hope you are right!

Same here.

im sure you'll be happy with them jpeiper. im converted, although theres still a lot on the market i havent tried.

I'm pretty much open to whomever produces the color I need, but I typically stick exclusively to acrylics. I do like Vallejo, but if I can find the same color from Apple Barrel, Delta, Folk Art, etc. then that's what I'll use.

Model Master Enamel. They work great.

I agree with Ken on this, Martin.

MM is great straight from the bottle, no clogging issues, good coverage, and they keep well. My first choice all the way!!!

Good luck on your painting!

Model Master Acrylics and Poly Scale Acrylics.

Many Tamiya colors mixed to get the colors I want with a healthy smattering of Model Master Acrylics thrown in for good measure (though I find them thin, and as of late in some cases extremely glossy -- even after thorough mixing, seems to be the dark greens).

Revell enamel & Tamiya acrylics . Work well with me #:-)

Model master enamals.....all the way...........though I'm starting to use a few other types and brands of paint just to see how they work.....

I use Model Master Enamel and acryl. A good dose of Tamiya acrylic and some tamiya enamel. Finally a smattering of Gunze enamels for those special mixes that they come up with. Have yet to experiment woth Vallejo, but I here good things. Stug

mm and tamiya acrylics
testors and humbrol enamels

I prefer Testor's acrylics, look good and easy to clean up. Use testor' enamels as well. I also when I can buy those cheap dollar store acrylics ( folk art, delta and americana). They work well and you can't beat the price. For a good dirty dry brush or wash I love americana's Mississippi Mud. It is the BOMB!

Vallejo for figures (incuding flesh) and Tamiya for armor.

Being in Asia, I almost exclusively using Tamiya and Gunze Paint. But I am more of a gunze man. Because Gunze has all the mixed colors, i.e. if I wanna an RLM02 for my BF109 (not that I do a plane, I am an EXCLUSIVE GERMAN ARMOR BUILDER (TM) ). I can just pick up a bottle from Gunze that is RLM02 instead of mixing them. I am lazy, but Gunze works for me all the times, either airbrush or hand paint. I swear to Gunze. Tamiya paint is nice too, they are big bang for the money, especially the big bottle ones, real nice.

Hi all!

I love Model Master Metalizers - they go on beautifully, dry in no time and buff up brilliantly!

They're hard to find in my area - I ended up getting some mail-order from the US. I really want to try out their standard enamels.

All the best

Airbrush: MM Acryl
Figures Windsor and Newton oils
Brush painting, just about anything, usually craft store arcylics...

Ditto. Sometimes I'll use Humbrol enamels for metalic colours. I find that the enamel metalics look better than the acrylic ones.

For airbrushing I prefer Japanese products: Gunze acrylics are my favourite brand- but they are very difficult to get here in Poland. So I use Tamiya paints, too. Both of them are excellent- but Gunze products leave extremely realistic surface.
Working with brush I use Humbrol enamels.
And for weathering MIG pastels are the best choice.

Regards,

Michal

I agree Michael BT

Gunze acrylics are fantastic - but no-one seems to sell them! Maybe we can start a petition to get more model shops to stock them!

All the best

Porky,

You're right. Only once I bought Gunze acrylics in Polish modell store. But now I will order them in R10 in Japan (I'm waiting for Trumpeter's Franziska- I will order them together to minimize costs).

Michal

I use Model Master Acrylics and enamels for most models. I have experimented with Tamiya Acrylics. I use Windsor and Newton oils and Craft acrylics for Figures.

i mainly use tamiya , oils for flesh tones , and sometimes i use games workshop (citadel ) paints which i can get localy
