Noticed there is a new American acrylic paint/pigment company called ModelMakerZ that's been in business for about a year. Only one reviewer saw a paint and wasn't impressed - that could only mean the reviewer likes a particular type of paint so more opinions would be good. They're specifically pitched toward the armor/aircraft market and their colors at least look nice. Anyone tried the real deal? http://www.modelmakerz.net/

The paints are designed to be very user friendly. They dry flat so there is no need for a flat coat.
They are good paints .

The fixative is also a thinner ......or you can use a couple drops of water. I suggest shooting it straight from the bottle.
Lay down a primer coat first for best results. The paint dries ultra flat so you dont need a flat coat over it.

Haven't tried them yet so no opinion from me. it would be great to have more acrylic paints available in the US. When I do get around to ordering one or two bottles, I will do a review for my website and forum.
Hope some one here gets it done first...kind of a heads up.
