I've not used it yet because I don't own an airbrush kit yet. That said, I know that there are gradations to flesh tones and shadows that can't be achieved by brush or spray paint. Long story short -- Amazon, Hobby Lobby and my local Wal-Mart don't stock the needed supplies that can elevate my modeling kit game. After a vigorous search, I ran across Hobbylinc and they had almost everything I needed to step up my game. I am definitely a repeat customer.
