Flyingdutchman Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Had the box in my hand last saturday, it was at steep €70,-....which made me think twice. Now with your build I will most definitely follow your thread with interest. Have fun! Evert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I will watch this one. I won this one a few weeks back at a modelshow tombola ( in the Netherlands). I build a few years back the Airfix one. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I picked one of these kits up at Telford, looking forward to getting stuck in at some point. Those Mr. Paint paints, what type are they? (Acrylic/Enamel etc). Are you planning to mod the kit at all or leave it OOB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarpen Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Where did you get that paint? Never Heard of them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBG Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Those paint are acrylic. The have own thiner, but producer suggest to used Leveling from Gunze Sangyo. The model I built OOB based solely on what in a box. The model is designed for testing paint Mr.Paint and masking Maestro Models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about whether the pigment is acrylic based or not, but the carrier medium is a cellulose/lacquer type, similar or same as with Alclad. As Alex from Uschi vdr explained to me (he stocks the paint btw), just like Alclad, Mr Paint doesn't contain any resins as a binding medium. Most, if not all other paints, whether acrylic or enamels have some sort of resin binder in it which is the responsible for the thickness build-up of paints on the model. As Mr Paint doesn't have that the paint layers are exceptionally thin. I have a few of them at home, but haven't tried them myself... J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesthegringo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I can certainly recommend Mr Paint colours, they are also known as Gunze. They are super tough as well as going on thinly, and the Mr Color lacquer thinner is fantastic. Even though it seems to be the same as Tamiya's lacquer thinners, it isn't as you can use it to remove any type of paint from most transparent parts with out any ill effects. Obviously try it on a piece of the sprue first if you are going to try this, but this has saved a few canopies. The only downside is the availability in some countries, as they don't allow importation hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Don't confuse Mr Paint with Mr Color. Mr Color is the lacquer based paint line of GSI/Gunze Sangyo (who also do the Mr Hobby line of water based acrylics). Mr Paint is a totally unrelated, different and relatively new brand from Slovakia. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBG Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Mr.Paint a completely different brand and manufacturer. They do not have anything to do with Mr.Color and Mr.Hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
