Has anyone tried the VMS products? I was watching them on u-tube and they look interesting.

I have used the PE super glue. Nice product.
No experience with other items in the line.

I have used a fair amount of their stuff. Their pigments are excellent. There aren't any fillers in them (white clumps that plague some later Might Productions and current 502 abteilung products) and come in a wide range of textures. The "cold" and "warm" tomes make them easy choices for colder and warmer climates.
Their pigments binders are reactivatable with enamel thinner, making them convenient to use.their flat varnish is OK, but not totally flat, unfortunately. Their cements are pretty good. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

What I am interested in is the chipping solution. Seen it on u-tube and it looks easy to use with good results.

I've used a lot of their products. The cements are great. The resin cement is the best I've ever used without exception. The P.E. glue is great too, but it dried out quickly. I've used the paper shaper to make air ID markers, and those worked well too. I'm very pleased with their other products too. I recommend that you order directly from VMS - no retailer in the U.S. stocks a lot of their product.

I disagree about their flat varnish...thinned it out a bit with vallejo acrylic airbrush thinner and it is BY FAR the flattest finish i have gotten without any clouding...I was so impressed i ordered a bunch more of their stuff
