good paint
This is good basic blue acrylic paint. It's in a smaller sized pot but it's plenty to last a long time. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side. It thins well with water, and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 3-4 coats. Definitely use a surface primer though as this can easily pull off of bare plastic with multiple brushstrokes. I've also learned that Tamiya paints are especially suited for airbrushes, however, I still get good results with both traditional brushes and airbrushes. Probably all acrylics are pretty standard, but I like the price, value and quality of this one.
Best model paint by far
Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.
