I've done a bit of searching and it seems to be that Vallejo is the most popular choice.
My shortlist atm is Vallejo or Humbrol, I have tried brush painting with Tamiya acrylics but the results were terrible.
I like Humbrol but enamel cleanup is a pain and there is the issue of smell as well, however the self leveling and slower drying time is good.
I'd like to know from anyone using Vallejo just how long it takes to dry and if you could paint large areas without getting brush marks (say a Jagdpanther hull).
I know using AB's is the way to go, but living in a small apartment makes this too difficult (plus the added cost).
Anyone with pictures of brush painted armour please post them, I'd like to see just how good a job can be done without an AB.

Hi there molenz.

For paint brush painting I use either testor's enamels or Humbrol enamels. Love the Hum's....I have tins that are SEVERAL years old and they are still quite good; nice, smooth flow. I've never had any kind of an issue with them. Testor's MM are some more good ones.

For AB'ing, I use Tamiya and Testor's MM....acrylics.

HTH,

Mike

One of the problems in brush painting Tamiya acrylic seems to be that it starts to dry so quickly, the next brush stroke starts dragging semi-dry paint along with wet paint. I have fewer problems with Model Master acrylics.
Some folks add retarder to acrylic when they airbrush it. I suppose this MIGHT help with brush painting as well.
Since you want a photo, this is Gunze acrylics over a Testor's enamel base. Heresy!
Not weathered yet, but the paint is nice and smooth.

Personally i do more brush painting than airbrush, i just dont like the amount of trouble you have to go to with an AB.
So, i usually also use Bumbrol enamels, as Mike said they have a nice smooth flow and tend to flatten themselves out well, removing any brush stroke lines, but on my latest build (sorry no pics yet) i decided to try my Craft Acrylics, just the ordinary ones that come in a tube, Jo Sonjas is the brand, and they worked beautifully!
Hope this helps
Cheers

Another choice is to use an aerosol can and spray the base colour. Quicker and a flat cover is ensured. If you have a balconey, the odor wont be a problem.

Thanks for the info guys, I might stick to Humbrol for the moment, it's also easier for me to obtain.

BTW That hard edged camo looks great.
