Since these two brands are the only paints available to me at the LHS, I've literally been forced to buy them, unless I buy online which I avoid as much as I can. Anyway, to the point, do either have advantages over the other? Are there any drawbacks of the Revell paints which I have started using recently, or are they basically the same?

Thanks in advance
Dave

EDIT: I think this is in the right forum, but my apologies if it should be in 'Tools and supplies.'

there are differences... Revell enamels have a tendency to dry in the tin can much faster.. pretty much a year after opening, they may be too thick to be of use.

I never had such problems with Humbrol enamels.

On the good side... the matt enamels of Revell are very flat much more than Humbrol.

Dave i also use both of the brands and they work fine for me!
Both of them are sprayed easily and gives you a nice finish!(a little grainy as frost said)
The revell indeed has the tendency to dry fast but they provide the closest clours to german camos!
Good luck using both of them!

humbrol! humbrol! humbrol! check out the thread called extreme pre shading, i just had a mare trying to use revell matt black, although in fairness it seems there are good tins and duff tins with the revell range

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try some Humbrol paints and see how it goes, no one seems to have had any problems with those.
