Has anyone used these?
They are supposed to be matched to the actual paint charts, although i dont usually use enamels for anything other than detail painting im thinking of giving them a try.
Any info would be appreciated
Cheers

Hi Joe
I have been using WEM Colourcoats for 3 years now...
They paintbrush well and also airbrush very good with my Aztec. I use Humbrol solvent to thin them for airbrushing.
So far I have used Modern US Navy, WWII US Navy*, Deutshe Kriegsmarine, Imperial Japanese Navy* and Russian Deck Colour and all behave in the same way
* for these I made the investment and bought the entire range - if you can, you'll save some £, and since I "had to" buy them anyway....
I foound the colours accurate, matching them with some photos (for WWII period) and from my own photos (for Modern).
IMHO you should give it a try
I have no affiliation or any commercial interest with WEM

Hi Joe,
These are my paints of choice, I've written a review, they are excellant. They are actually the same formular as Xtracolor but semi-gloss, so dry much quicker. Recommended thinner is white spirit and it's much cheaper than than Humbrol's own. I add a drop or two of Rustins Paint Drier and they dry in no time
