Very handy if you’re going to do any builds concerning the Japanese navy. This is good meduim grey acrylic paint. The smaller pots aren’t as good of a value as the ¾ oz., but they are still worth it if you’re not planning on using it a lot. However, since it is well suited for a basic hull color you may be using quite a bit of it. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side, and it thins well with water(though Tamiya also makes an acrylic thinner that is better), and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 4-6 coats. It’s just about perfect for any sort of metal ship, and it can also be used for discoloration and details. I should also mention that it is much darker than the spray version, so don’t expect to use it to touch up your spray can job.

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.
