Excited by this news. I still use solvent-based paints when needed but greatly prefer water-based for health reasons. I look forward to seeing how well these work.

Aside from the obvious AFV application, this might be very useful for any of the new Bandai Star Wars (or mecha) kits, as their plastic is notoriously brittle and prone to cracking under enamel or oil-based washes (ask me how I know....). Great news!

Wondering if it is similar to the weathering paste (mud, grass, snow) from Tamiya years back

Will be interesting to see how these stack up against the True Earth product line which I have been using with great results for a couple of years now.
