Do you do any scale modelling?

Nah… Pointless. 😉

If it cant be played with, I dont want to know! 🙂

Rod,

Im using both at the moment. The Ammo spray well straight out the pot, indeed dont thin them and they have good coverage and flow. They do dry quicker than Tamiya so if painting a batch of vehicles you may need to stop and flush the airbrush. You can also brush paint the Ammo which is handy for touching up parts etc.

So far I have used the German yellow and the British green/drab. The yellow is above and the British colour can be seen in my Shermans in the other thread… But that colour seems to change depending on light conditions! In daylight it looks a little too green and dark. However in the pics you will see its quite a good colour. Im hoping to try more of them and try to assess the range. I have been asked to demo the paints for a local model shop so hopefully that might give me the chance to review alot more of them. One thing I have noticed though is you will likely want to use a corresponding filter with Mig Ammo, even more than with Tamiya to get the right colour modulation. Not a problem for me as its all part of my usual paiting procedure but some may find it a bind.
