I buy them direct, as I can then get single bottles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Beautiful Flanker Ian. Lovely finish and subtle weathering. May give Hataka another go - I tried some of their earlier paints which where difficult to use and this put me off. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Malcolm Hataka’s early formula Red Line were a problem. Something they recognised, and changed the formulation. At the time, they even offered free exchanges to those who had bought the early sets. Give the newer ones a go. Thin them out to about 50:50, paint to Hataka acrylic thinner, and build the colour up with several light coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
