Thanks Fred. This is a really great review and tutorial. I have used MCW for auto finishes, they work well. It's interesting that the military finishes are gloss. Since my best brick and mortar paint shops are 45 min to an hour each way I may have to start mail ordering paint.

Hi Mark,
Sorry for late reply; yes, MCW makes them gloss to remove a step towards decaling, and because the gloss allows excellent weathering with washes. I am fiddling around with washes on this paint and hyped for it. (No review or feature-ready pix yet.)

Waiting with bated breath on the new reviews. My LHS has started carrying the Mission Models paints and is threatening to carry the Revell line. Why they didn't increase their Tamiya stock or bring back Mr. Color is beyond me. Their sister store carries a wider range of both Tamiya and Mr. Color along with a full rack of Humbrol, but it's a 90 min roundtrip.
