Ok, saw the tutorials and it seems a great product, an acrylic similar to Mr.Hobby, easily blends with other acrylics (non vinyl type) according to the videos, and has good density and fast drying time. One niggle is the price tag...one jar € 2,30 but a set of 3 € 7,50??? Someone skiped math class

Oh, but don't you see...you get a lovely package to hold the multiple bottles in until you get it home and tear it open. Well worth the extra expense in my book.

If their aircraft colors are like their Armour ones i would be very wary of them. And their book. Their armor book was over simplified and i suspect this one will be no different.Its to big a subject for a small book and to cover all four major combatants Their paint is very good though and sprays very well. The other thing that gets me is they say they have scaled the colors but they never say which scale they have scaled for. which really means it only good for a certain scale. Sorry to sound so negative but if your going to call your colors real colors get them right and i learnt the hard way with their amour book and paint
