Has anyone been using their line of paints as their primary go to paints? Just wondering how they stack up to the major brands.

Hi Joel
I'm just getting set to use them "in anger". My tests so far have been very positive (see the
Review - but, of course, there's no beating using them in an actual build. I'll also be keen to read feedback.
All the best

Box and bottle looks suspiciously like AK“s - which is manufactured by Vallejo ?

Hi Jan
That was my first thought too, but they behaved quite differently in the tests. More like Lifecolor.
