-
- I'm using both Tamiya and Testor's acrylics.
-
- I prefer the Tamiya all-around. It hand- and air-brushes very well [for my
- uses...of course, I'm no Mark Gustavson]; I can pour it straight out of the
- bottle into my Testor Pro airbrush and get great results.
-
- I started buying some Testor paints for the wider color selection and for the
- FS compatibility [something I _never_ thought I'd care about]. I find that
- they airbrush really well, but are too thin to give good coverage with a
- brush in one coat.
-
- I haven't used any of the other acrylics, and so can't comment on them.
