Hmm... I just might try these- I was never a fan of heavy washes and filters, because they tend to obscure and IMO, ruin the original colors of a well-modulated, airbrushed finish. I've heard and read all kinds of claims from other manufacturers, extolling their latest products' miraculous virtues, but as many times as not, their claims are found to be wanting...

If I don't like the results, they will only find limited use in my modelling efforts. Judging from what TRUE EARTH's company propaganda lists as the "advantages" in using these products, I think they're probably worth a try. At least the photos look good; subtle, not garishly obvious...

If, for any reason it turns out that I don't like these new filters & washes, you guys will be the first to know about it...

I have an earlier set, and it's not cut-and-dry to use them. I'm still not sure how best utilise these products. You must have an absolutely flat surface, otherwise it will form droplets. By brush it's not very easy to apply well. So far the best I could do is with an airbrush. But I'm trying... perhaps I'll do a post once I nailed it down. (The tutorials online were not very helpful.)

Hi, Andras!

Did you apply the washes over a gloss coat or a flat coat? Washes will form droplets on a gloss coat, rather than flowing easily into recesses, etc, as they would with a flat coat...

I use a flat undercoat; nevertheless I suspect I would have to experiment with additives to lower the surface tension. The absolutely flat tamiya paints give results that can be called adequate.
