Mig ammo acrylics

[Monty Python]

Anybody used mig ammo acrylics. If so, are they any good?

[Dave Williams]

The are fine as paint. You just need to make sure there is a good primer underneath because their adherence to bare plastic can sometimes be challenged in my experience.

ditto, ive got a few and they are really easy to spray but most need a priimer

I had several attemps to water based acrylics like MiG or AK paints (i even bought a lot of sets), but i'm not a fan. I definitely prefer the alcool based acrylics. WIth water based, i always have clogging issues, and i really struggle to find the correct dilution (always too thick or too thin), whereas it's never been an issue with Gunze or Tamiya.

However, the colors usually looks great, though some may be a bit surprising, especially for AFV's. But i guess they are base colors, designed to be weathered, so it may not be anormal that they look weird straight out of the bottle.

 

But it must only be me, as many of us use them without any issue and like them.

I used the Mig paints to paint my Kfir and they went down smooth as silk. I also use mostly MIG Gray and Black primer and just love the stuff

 

 

 

MIG Paints used

Thanks for the replies. Have just bought the Takom King Tiger with full interior and the colour call outs are all mig ammo.

You don't have to use the Ammo Mig paints. There are a number of companies that make WW2 German armor colors.

My local hobby shops only stock humbrol or tamiya so any other brands have to bought online so I thought I may give mig a go
