I use Model Master enamels, and I think they are good. I would think that Model Master acrylics would have a wide selection. I really don't know because I don't use acrylics.

Hi Tazz

I've heard a lot of good things about MM Acrylics, but no-one stocks them here...
Gunze Sangyo do an extensive range and I think their paint is fantastic... (when I can find it!!)... it sprays beautifully and seems more robust than Tamiya. :-)

Chip, if I'm ever in the States, maybe you could introduce me to your Aunt Diana... :-) :-)

All the best

I use Model Master Enamels. I think they have the better RLM colour selection (I think itīs complete) itīs a high quality paint.

tazz, you will find that matching acrylic colors to RLM paints will ver easier done if your using MM acrylics. The MM acrylic line come with a wide selection of pre-mixed RLM colors to choose from where Tamiya does not. I used MM RLM acrylics on my last build and they did great. Only thing to watch out for is some of the lighter coats like RLM 02 Yellow (Gelb). You've got to lay down a primer coat and build up the color gradually with this lighter colors because of the coverage of the paint.
