Ok, so my Aires cockpit set came in for my P-51D ! I've been putting of doing anything until that set came in and now to get the ball rolling I need to find out about paints. Back in the day I used mostly Enamels such as Model Master, Floquil (now owned by Testors) both work well. Every once and awhile I tried to use Acrylics such as Tamyia, Gunze Sangyo, Model Master Acryl, Polyscale. Acrylics were OK but I didn't go ga-ga over them; with the Acryl and Polyscale I noticed that the particles were not as finely ground as the enamels and Gunze never covered that well.
Bottom line is that now that I have a Wife and Kids Enamels and the odors are a no-go and I must change to Acrylics. I use all airbrush %99 of the time
Onto the questions...
What are some of the better Acrylics now as a lot probably changed in the years I have been gone from the hobby.

Special advice? (Thinners, weathering, coverage, cleanup, techniques)
I'd like to support my local shop but these days mail-order for my paints may be the way to go - suggestions
