Smudgeboy Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just a quick question, having great fun learning to use my first ever airbrush, and using acrylic paints for the first time as well. As I'm doing a Revell 1/72 F-14 Tomcat, for ease of getting the right colours, I also bought Revell acrylic paints. So far, not knowing any better, I'm getting on fine with them, although my airbrushing techniques are still raw, to say the least. But in looking at a load of YouTube videos on airbrushing techniques etc, it seems that just about everyone who is anyone seems to refer to using what I would now describe as a "Big 4" of acrylic paints - these being Tamiya, Vallejo, Mr Hobby and Xtracrylic. Simple question really - are these makes really that much better than Revell, or is there a bit of snobbery going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Everyone has their own preference Some find they can't airbrush brand X whilst others find brand X fine for airbrushing Whatever one works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
