ian1485 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi all I'm going to start working on the Airfix P40 new tool in 112 Sq markings and was wondering about paint - acrylics to brush. I've seen a Valejo set of paints for RAF desert aircraft which seems to include what I'd need - any comments on their accuracy? Any alternatives that are recommended? Ideally I don't want to do too much mixing of colours, though adding a drop of this or that I could manage! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominikS Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 There are new Polish paints sold in sets. The name of company is Hataka. There's a set dedicated to RAF during the Second World War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I may be wrong but IIRC the Vallejo sets use paints in the model air range. These are thinned for airbrush use and are not ideal for brush painting. Personally I use lifecolor paints for the raf desert scheme. They are very good for brushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1485 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks for your input gents. Dominik, I've had a look at the Hataka ones but haven't got much information about them as they're so new - they look promising though - has anyone tried them for brushing? How are the colour matches that anyone has tried? Giorgio, I've heard lots of good things about lifecolor paints - I've read that it said that the mid-stone is too yellow (though I've never seen them on a model, so can't say myself) - how did you find the colour match? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
