I only found out about Agama because the Jadar shop in Warsaw have authentic Polish Air Force colours made by them. These are exclusive to the Jadar shop and not found in their published charts. I had not given much attention to their own website so I didn't know about the different kinds of paint they have as they are not available from Jadar. They have some other interesting products although their choice of English might be misleading at times. Airbrush putty - seems to be a filler/primer. I just discovered that if you click on the orange band at the top you will find the explanations of their products. Mostly it confirms what I had found by experience. Unfortunately I don't have a clue where you can get any of these extra products as their site does not sell them.
Alcohol based
Produced since we started the company, we call these colours alcohol as this is their key ingredient. Alcohol based colours are distinct from our two classical types of colours in several ways: they dry in 15-20 minutes, they will never clog in the airbrush nozzle, they can be cleaned from brushes, airbrushes or even models themselves with pure alcohol and have an unlimited shelf-life. Dried alcohol based colours can be dissolved with thinner. We currently offer approximately 120 shades in 10ml plastic bottles in the Alcohol Based range but are slowly expanding the variety of shades produced
Water based
Can be painted or sprayed onto a wide variety of materials including plastic, paper, wood, glass, metal and expanded polystyrene. The colours give an even consistency and have a glossy or silk matt surface, drying in 10-15 minutes. For easier application we recommend using our water based acrylic thinner. The colours do not affect the surface that they are used on, even if this surface has been painted with other brands. Water based acrylics can be cleaned from paintbrushes and airbrushes easily with Agama alcohol thinner. At present over 200 shades are offered in the Acrylic range but in due course we will add all of the shades from the large colour chart that are currently available as enamels.
Enamel
We produce 336 shades of classic enamels (65 basic series and 271 authentic series). The authentic series contains shades used as camouflage colours on airplanes, afv´s, uniforms and rolling stock from the First World War to present. The 300 plus colours represent all the shades in our easy reference colour chart. It is generally well known amongst modelers that the quality of enamel colours is unequalled and due to this they will always have a place in any good modeler’s inventory.
Water based thinner
Acrylic colours can be thinned using water but for optimum performance it is recommended that Agama acrylic thinner is employed, particularly for airbrush application. Agama acrylic colours can be diluted up to 50%. Agama Thinner ensures an even flow and adhesion, slows down the drying process, and prevents clogging of the airbrush.
Alcohol based thinner
This thinner should only be used for thinning Agama alcohol based colours.
If you are hapy using acrylics then I don't think you will have a problem with these. They seem very high quality with a lot of pigment and give good results. I've had not adverse results using Future/Klear or Humbol Matt Cote on them. They dry quickly but I find that after 24 hours they shrink right down to a thin layer.
