Bill_S Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've been a Model Master enamel guy forever, but that, unfortunately, is going to have to change. I like their metallizer range also.

Phantom2 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 For the brush; Note; I only use enamels! Humbrol, the OLD, good stuff that smells like paint should! (I´ve been a Humbrol guy since day one!) White Ensign (now Sovereign Hobbies) colorcoates Xtracolor, whenever I can get hold of them! Revell, If I can find them For the Airbrush; MRP; My new favorite color brand Alclad; for primers and metallics Cheers! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Xtracolor, Sovereign Colourcoats, Humbrol and Model Master, I tried acrylics once, didn't like them at all. I prefer Xtracolor and Colourcoats as they airbrush fantastically and they dry decal ready. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primers: Tamiya super fine white and Mr. Surfacer 1500 black Like Bill, Ive always used MM enamels but the range is getting depleted, and honestly Ive found a MUCH better spraying airbrush paint; MRP. For airbrushing IMHO, its unbeatable. As has been mentioned however, they dont brush paint unless you dump some out and let it sit to thicken up. Im going to be trying their aqua paints to see if they can be used a touchup/brush paints. Primers (when I use them, mainly on resin or mixed media kits) Im also with Bill, as Tamiyas fine white lacquer primer is nearly flawless, as is MS 1500 black, as I use that often too. Both are EXCELLENT products. MikeMaben and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Tamiya Acrylics Gunze Acrylics That's pretty much all I have so don't have many things to compare with. I have some MRP paints on order to test. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After using (and actually liking) the Gunze acrylic range I think you are going to be amazed Don at how much better the MRP paint sprays, even compared to Gunze stuff, that does spray very nicely.

Winnie Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I loved the MRP but they are difficult and expensive to get a hold of, and they smell... I have a dedicated room, but no real paintbooth, so no stinkers allowed! Keen to try the new LP raint from Tamiya though... Lately I have been using Ammo by Mig, and Vallejo Model Air. For me correctness in color isn't 100% important, but smell and relative easy cleanup is. I also LOVE th Gunze Aqueous and Tamiya Acrylic ranges, and have quite a stash. I also have a few MM Enamels, but only because the colors I need for a project is only available through them... (Humbrol original tins DO smell wonderful...) Cheers H.
